Hi,
I had a new 500mb install today with 2.4ghz and 5ghz split.
The 5 is fine around 400mbps but the 2.4 is slow, not achieving more that 80mbps
This was with a hub4 the engineers tried a hub5 with similar results. Tests were taken with only one device on the 2.4 next to the router.
He said he would get back to me.
Any ideas please?
Thanks

Sounds about right for 2.4Ghz, good even!

Really that is weird, why wont it get up to full speed.
I would like to know what others can achieve on 2.4ghz.
I was on TT and regularly got 70ghz on a 80ghz package.
Thanks

Hi,
It says here it can achieve up to 600mbps
What's the Difference Between 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi? (socialwifi.com)

Does the HUB support it...no (Supports UPTO 3x3 so 450Mbps).

Does your device support it... probably not.
The router and the device must support four simultaneous streams, which most will NOT support, for UPTO 600Mbps on 2.4Ghz.

It all depends if it 1x1 2x2 4x4 mimo, if supported. Most phones iPads are 2x2. Also bandwidth on VM hub is 20 Mbs, you can go to 40 Mbs on other routers, but you just end up with interference. Try these ‘real world’ figures:
802.11b | 11 Mbps | 2-3 Mbps |
802.11g | 54 Mbps | 10-29 Mbps |
802.11n | 300 Mpbs | 150 Mbps |
