Re: No WiFi signal in my room – need wired WiFi access point or pod installation
Drilling walls and adding any type of wiring is usually prohibited in rental properties. A device like this would avoid building damage and you can take it with you when the time comes to move on : https://www.screwfix.com/p/tp-link-tl-wpa7517-kit-dual-band-av1000-powerline-adaptor-kit/793rn8Views0likes0CommentsRe: Why '16 qam' & not 64qam?
16 qam indicated there is a noise issues affecting that upstream channel. Unless there is a loose or damaged coax cable in your system there is nothing you can do about it plus with 5 channels connected it may not make a noticeable difference to regular internet activities.11Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Ubuntu Laptop and wifi speed issue
Yes fall back from the faster 5GHz band to the slower longer range 2.4 GHz band is automatic and occurs are different points for each Wi-Fi device. 99% of Wi-Fi issues are due to total failure to invest in a suitable Wi-Fi network for the space you have or the needs / expectations you have. We have a VM Hub in Router mode + 2 Wireless Access points, and network sockets in 4 rooms ... we have good Wi-Fi across a home of a dozen rooms on two levels. We also have a couple of HP USB3 to Gigabit network adaptors for the modern slim laptops that lack a network port, these give rock solid connections for MS Teams & Telegram video calls & using an Epson network scanner.15Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Ubuntu Laptop and wifi speed issue
If other devices upstairs are returning 80Mb/s download, they are on the 5GHz band. You mention the Ubuntu laptop has a low power Wi-Fi adaptor ( that is unusual ) and that its speed was worse with the Hub 3 on 2.4GHz channel 6 than on 11 i.e. the Ubuntu laptop when up stairs is using the slower 2.4GHz band unlike other kit that is on the faster 5GHz band. If upstairs is at the fringe of Wi-Fi reception the Ubuntu laptop on 2.4GHz is at a considerable speed disadvantage. Consider improving the Wi-Fi coverage in the upstairs of the house so the Ubuntu laptop can revert to the faster 5GHz band.37Views0likes0Comments
