Poor WiFi Speed

Post by Piscator »

Hi Everyone,

At the weekend i updated the firmware on my 7800n from 1.06d to 1.06h but I've noticed a dramatic change in my WiFi download speeds most noticeably using my iPad only 20 feet away!
Has anyone any suggestions as to what I could try to improve things?

Many thanks in advance....

Try changing the channel the router outputs on, also try changing the channel width to 20mhz after you have tried changing the wireless channel.

Thank you billion_fan, I'll try your suggestion and let you know how things go.
By the way I've chosen channel 11 but does it matter which channel I select?

Yes it matters, either scan for channels used in your area and pick one that is not used, or select one channel by one and select the best channel for your enviroment,

If that fails roll back the firmware (attached)
