wifi issues. faulty router?
Posted: Sat Sep 12, 2015 7:23 pm
hi,
for the last month ive been having intermittent poor wifi speeds, that's only cured by rebooting the router, then its been good for a few days. though i have rebooted four times in the last 5 days because of it.
wired speeds, LAN (~103MB/s) and internet (~7.5MB/s), are perfect. no issues
wireless speeds seem to be limited to 400Kb/s - 700Kb/s per device, though removing all wireless has no effect on throughput. usual throughput is 3MB/s and greater.
tried both bandwidth settings, 20MHz and 20/40MHz, which has no affect
channel is interference acceptable, i usually have it set to auto, thought manually setting the channel has no affect
pinging the router, from any lan device, has erratic response times (see below)
PInging the NAS is fine, though that's due to lan topology (router --> switch ---> all wired devices)
routers on latest firmware
is it time to get a replacement from amazon?
*EDIT* getting nas to tablet transfer speed of 750KB/s with the 8800, though just installed an old talktalk superrouter as a temp access point and getting 9.64MB/s
time to rma i think
