Linksys WRT1900AC bad speed on 5 GHz network

I have been using the Linksys WRT1900AC for several months now and the speeds used 20-30Mbps network 2.4 GHz and 80 - 100 Mbps on the 5 GHz network. But recently, the speed on the 5 GHz network are only able to go up to 20Mbps and turns usually around 10 Mbps. However, the 2.4 GHz network keeps always between 20-30Mbps.

I tried everything but the 5 GHz network and I still cannot improve for it. Any suggestions?

Just info by addition, the modem I use also, forwards compatible speeds of 100 Mbps. I tested it and it is always gives 100 Mbps speeeds.

Thank you.

Hi @haoquan5,.

He must have a faster speed when connected wireless to the router. I suggest to configure prioritization of media and set the speed at which you acquired your provider of Internet Service in Kbps. Then it is better to Support WMM commissioning and click OK.

  • Lack of network of 2.4 Ghz on Linksys WRT1900ACS

    I set up my new Linksys WRT1900ACS yesterday.

    Originally, I created two networks Joy_5 and Joy_2.4. Everything worked.

    My Fitbit balance don't like underscores in SSID so I changed the two networks to joy.

    Since then, I am unable to do * nothing * frequency of 2.4 Ghz.

    I did a factory reset, and I tried all channels. The interface seems to think that there is a network on the band but can see no external device (I've tried laptops and phones).

    I've attached a screenshot of the current settings.

    Joy2 network (the current name of the 2.4 Ghz network) cannot be seen by any device (even when right next to the router).

    I don't know what else to try. It is currently the choice between return the router as defective DD or WRT giving a go...

    I does look like it is defective.

    Some wireless devices will be confuse previous wireless networks to which they connect. In general, you can get them to forget or remove networks remembers previous. Rename the SSID something completely different should circumvent the requirement of Forget.

  • Router Linksys WRT1900ac - unable to access the USB drive shared on the WiFi 5 GHz

    Hello

    I have a strange problem. I use my Linksys WRT1900ac for almost a year and it works great. There is a USB hard drive plugged into it and I have no problem to access the data. I brought a new desktop computer that is compatible 5 GHz. All my other devices are connected trought 2.4 GHz.

    When I connect my computer to the 5 GHz WiFi network, I have access to the internet and any other player shared the router. It I connect it to the network 2, 4 GHz, it works. The 2.4 and 5 GHZ networks have the same configuration. The only difference is the SSID. I added 5g at the ent of the 5 GHz one.

    I really don't understand why I can't access the shared drive of the 5 GHz network and it works on the 2, 4 GHz. I forgot something?

    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    It could be that when you connect to the 5 GHz network, your PC is set to public and therefore discovery network is disabled, then you are not able to see the drive.  Just throw it out there.

  • What happened to 5 GHz networks - Linksys WMP600N dual band PCI Wireless

    I have one Linksys WMP600N dual band PCI Wireless internet.

    Before my upgrade to Windows 8, it worked perfectly under Windows 7. Now, after the installation of Windows 8, 5 GHz network is no longer visible.

    There was a Windows Update for drivers after installing Windows 8, but that does not solve the problem. There is also no later published driver on the Web of the Linksys or Ralink Tech sites.

    I also tried to connect the SSID as if it were hidden, but that no longer works.

    I ran through all the normal troubleshooting steps (reboots, slowdown, etc.) and I tried to adjust the various parameters of the router as well (channel and mode).

    And I'm not the only one who has the problem, and it seems that it cannot just be this adapter wireless but also many other manufacturers.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_cp-networking/cant-find-5GHz-on-Linksys-WMP600N/97b2ad73-d22d-420B-9973-f283c19360c8

    I started down this path, but he told me that my drivers are up to date.

    However, I was able to restore the slightly modified functionality with these instructions:

    Step 1: Go to the adapter settings and work your way to the tab that says update driver

    Step 2: Choose the Option browse my computer for the location of the driver

    Step 3: Select "have disk Option.

    Step 4: Select "Let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer."

    Step 5: Choose "Linksys WMP600N-Wireless-N PCI Adapter with Dual-Band (Microsoft).

    Step 6: Click Next

    The problem seems to be with the Ralink Tech driver. I installed via Windows Update after loading Windows 8, and that seems to be the problem.

  • R5 - 471 T - 71W with wireless card Atheros QCA61x4A unable to reach linkup with Linksys WRT1900AC AC

    Hello, I have laptop Aspire R5 - 471T - 71W with the NIC of the Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A wireless. I have the Linksys WRT1900AC wireless router configuration to support the chain of 80 MHz, I have the latest Firmware & drivers for installed devices. Run Win10 pro on the Aspire. Even in the same room that the WRT1900AC router, longs it reached only 802.11n connection speed. How will I know if I'm actually in 802.11ac and Win10 falsely reported my connection speed using the details of the network & sharing Panel as 300Mbps?

    Hello Jordan,.

    Thanks for the pointer... I had two bands with separate SSID. Channels of communication were also in automatic. What I didn't have was the network Mode in the joint framework. Documentation of Linksys seems to be lacking on how these parameters affect the configuration of the WRT1900AC AC speed.

    I am now at 866,3 Mbit/s.

    Thank you for your prompt and accurate diagnosis of the root cause.

    Finally a resolution...

    I tried running an ePrint of New York telephone, and it worked, but still no luck wirelessly from the PC printing.

    He said that the WiFi was indeed working.  So, I did a search for new firmware and found that there was one in April of this year (2016).  Downloaded and took a chance on install.  To my amazement, it is actually installed on the printer without any connection "connected".  Who told me that there is an existing wireless link.

    Once the install is complete firmware, I tried to print a worksheet Excel from the PC, and it actually printed!  I have to assume there was something in the formware upgrade which allowed the router from LinkSys (WRT1900AC) to communicate fully and to work with the PC.  The router was published in 2014, so maybe it was.

    In any event, everything is in fully working again.

    Man y thanks to all who have shared their data entry.  I hope this could help someone with a similar problem in the future.

    Thanks again!

  • Port before 1723 Linksys WRT1900AC (VPN)

    I can't establish a VPN tunnel to my desktop using PPTP (built in vpn windows) machine.

    I have a Linksys WRT1900AC, latest firmware (1.1.8.164461)

    I implemented the single port forwarding (this machine has a static ip address below):

    I can ping the machine externally, but when I telnet as the machine and the port number (EXTERNAL telnet. IP 1723), his look is no (external).

    I have disabled the windows firewall (although all ports and the gre are defined in the case). I even disabled the firewall of the router to test and helped passtrhough:

    I did the research strongly, and the only thing I can think is a NAT behind NAT issue? (Not too well known in network). But I'm not on a DSL modem is a modem cable (Charter company).

    I'm stuck, I know that the VPN tunnel does not work because the port is not listening, but how can I get?

    Thanks in advance,

    Scott

    Yes, the IP address that starts with 192.168.x.x is a private LAN and non routable IP address.

    Your ISP Modem must also be a router with a DHCP server.

    Two Options:

    1. Configure the Modem for Bridge Mode or DMZ
    2. Configure the same port forwarding rule in the modem to the IP address of the WRT1900AC (192.168.44.x). If the modem passes to the WRT1900AC which redirects to the PPTP in Windows 8 Server.
  • Connection speed 2.4 Ghz E3000 and USB HDD

    I use WRT160N for my internet and wifi at home. For the storage of the laptop, I use Seagete Free Agent 2 TB USB 3.0, which is nice by car.

    So I desided to buy E3000 and use as storage server, router, internet and wifi.

    I install everything, he went peaty smoot.

    During installation, I noticed that 2.4 GHz wifi shows only max 150 Mbps, but 5 GHz 300 Mbps connection speed (I use wifi mini card dell 1510 on my Dell laption, supports the 2.4 and 5 GHz).

    I tried different things to the 2.4 GHz to display connection 300Mbps speed (disable 5 GHz option, set the mode to "N" only, always use WPA2, etc.), but without success. When I connect to the old WRT160N, I can see 300Mbps speed of connection.

    Can you advice what settings should I set up, so that I can use connection to the E3000 300Mbps?

    The second bit I want to share and comment on is the access speed to the reader of the UBS.

    When I connect to the reader directly on my laptop, I am limited to 32 MB/s (256Mbps) read/write speed (the laptop is USB2.0, so it seems normal).

    Now, when I write of the E3000 max speed wifi I do is about 3 to 3.5 MB/s (24-28Mbps) and when it is connected to the local network (100 Mbps) speed is about 4 - 4. 5 MB/s (32-36 Mbps).

    It seems slow, peaty compared to the speed of the USB. 5 GHz wifi rate shows 300Mbps connection 144Mbps speed/2.4 Ghz (which is 18 MB/s), so that the router should be able to keep read/write rate highter.

    Is this a problem E3000 or this is the max I can get material in there?

    1. it's a router not a storage attached to the network power house. If you want a NAS with high performance get a NAS. The USB HDD is more for practical reasons, then for high performance. Drive speeds you see through the router are good enough for a device like this. Check what CPU you have in your E3000 and which processors they use in NAS devices that are able to provide data of 250 Mbit/s from a connected USB device and you will see that it is a completely different League...

    2. the 150 Mbps is a rate of 20 MHz. The connection uses only a band of 20 MHz and not a 40 Mhz. This is usually due to one of these two reasons:

    a. many pilots (for example Intel Centrinos) wireless equipped with 20 MHz preconfigured on the band 2.4 GHz. It will link ever more quick then 150 Mbps, unless you change the configuration of the driver.

    b. most / all new routers observe interference of signal on the tapes and automatically returns to 20 MHz mode, if they find too much interference. If you have many other access points in your proximity 40 MHz would mean more than twice the interference on the connection. Any other communication on stuck on 40 MHz channels would interfere with your communication. With a lot of traffic interfering on the range 2.4 GHz, you would see very low real rates if you forced 40 MHz in this case.

    And your neighbors using 802.11 g wouldn't really appreciate your bandwidth hogging. Because of the limited number of channels without overlapping on the 2.4 GHz band a router running on 40 MHz basically use 2/3 of the total available on the entire 2.4 GHz band available bandwidth. The execution of 40 MHz in a neighborhood with many other access points is all just a terrible idea...

    The wireless adapter is a Realtek wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC 8191SE bundled with the laptop when I bought it.

    What can I do to get 802.11n 5 GHz work?

    Hello

    The Satellite Pro L640 seems to be a Toshiba laptop we.
    In any case, first you must make sure that your wireless network card is 802.11 Wlan N capable.
    If the WLan card would support 802.11 Wlan N standard, then I recommend updating the driver WLan.
    You must use the most recent driver from the Wlan card manufacturer page.

    In addition, you must make sure that wireless network adapter has been configured to use the standard 802.11 N.
    You should check the settings in the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab.

  • 2.4 GHz networks are not found

    My mac mini (late 2009) (El Capitan) is not able to pick up networks 2.4 GHz Wireless.

    A scan of wireless with my iMac diagnosis nine find ten networks of 2.4 GhZ and 5 GHz network and my macbook pro concludes two 2.4 Hz networks and the network of 5 GHz one... but the mac mini are only 5 GHz network.

    Does anyone know why this should be, and what I can do to find the 2.4 GHz that? The router is about 2 meters from the mac mini.

    Thank you.

    I can't say with certainty what the cause is but can suggest something to check which is a common problem.

    The Mac mini late model 2009 is the old Mac mini form and has very, very tedious connections to WiFi antennas and Bluetooth, if the Mac mini has never been taken to for example upgrade memory, or replace the hard drive, it is extremely common for one or more of these connectors are lost. It could be the 2.4 GHz it is disconnected.

  • Problems of EA3500 of 5 GHz network connection

    I'm having difficulties to connect to our network of 5 GHz. When I open the list of available networks on my laptop (new windows 10 Toshiba) and Iphone(5s) only our 2.4 GHz standard is displayed. Although on the app of router, I noticed that my laptop of brothers and sisters is connected to the 5 GHz network.

    The name of the network 2.4 and 5 GHz are exactly the same. When I changed names to differentiate between networks, devices have been disconnected from the Internet and I couldn't return until I changed the name back.

    If you have any questions to my aid situation please ask, I will answer you shortly.

    Thank you

    You did while differentiating between the 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz SSIDS. This will make the resolution of the problems. Simply reconnect the devices for the new SSID and you should also bring to forget the previous SSID.
