You could reason the Beacon Level Intervals to maybe 800-850 ish. Kind why you want full understanding of the “advance” settings. But a lot of guys are right, Bluetooth does use 2.4, and unfortunately 5 ghz doesn’t have much range. Most of it depends where the router is, and the other part of it...

Number one question with any device that uses 5 ghz to connect to wifi is this. How FAR is the device, is it AX, AC, or A? Is there obstacles like a wall? Is the antenna eternal or outside with a physical antenna? Wifi travels basically in a straight line to the device. So there is no flying...

Obtain the routers IP address. I am familiar with Cox you would need the username and password that the TECH or Cox assigned to to access the router. My iphone X requires WPA 2 otherwise it will say network is unsecure. Anything more modern might prefer WPA 3. Have you tried what your phone...

Does your router have WPA 3 to determine thats what NEW windows needs to call the network SECURE? Moderator Note: the above sentence may have been generated by using AI.]

If you have a router with QoS function then you want to enable that. A higher end router can remember the IP address of the devices connected, but if it doesn't, then you have to realize what the sequence of CONNECTNTIVITY as which one gets the IP of the bandwidth restrictions of the QoS...

most probably theme I see over the years is people exceed bandwidth over the network. Just because one device can get 500 and multiple other devices can get 500 mbps doesn't make it a great idea, especially with auto updates, and multiple applications running in the background. QoS is literally...

I'd seriously looking into the feature Quality of Service and what frequency you devices are connected based on the position of the router and where the device is being used. Since it's a AC router, which is more than enough even on the higher end plans. Sounds like you are exceeding bandwidth...

I see this pattern in all classic retro games of the PC era... it fits the topic, but not supported by the OPINIOns of the majority. I don't know where people come up with this so called entitlement but it wasn't never earned.

I meant 8 mbps per device... but meh. QoS is ideal for EVERY network. If all devices CAN obtain 300 mbps, than a 300 mbps plan is useless.

the AVERAGE person only needs 8 mbps... 300 mbps would be more than enough... but if you don't know how bandwidth works then you will always face the illusion of 300 mbps is always better than 8 mbps.. I highly recommend looking into the QoS function of your router and a bandwidth limiter for...

I am curious what benefits some people still see in dial by todays standards. that's all

tell the wifi card to use the 802.11 g protocol.. If that doesn't work, then you are exceeding bandwidth on the machine. Download metaping, it's free and run ping tests daily and see whats happening. Obtain the games IP address if it's pingable and run tests all day so you can see whats...

Distance from the router can play a role on your speed. This includes the materials of the objects it passes through. You also have to include the 802.11 protocols that are being broadcasted and autonomously functions of the router or device. For distance 802.11 N on the 2.4 frequency is your...

I am trying to install quake 2, and if needed have the game detect the ethernet adapter and get the online multiplayer to function. Without a list of commands, making the adjustments needed for functionality would be a conundrum. Not to mention to run Yamagi Quake 2, which is a impressive...

have you done a solo speed test for the device that needs internet? Solo as in.. all devices except the device that needs a "accurate" test.
