Hello,
My router is TP-Link Archer AX20 v2 Router that is wi-fi 6 and dual band and my smart supposedly Ai device is also dual band and supports wi-fi 6 too. The frequencies are combined in a single SSID not separate according to my router settings.
The device is mounted on my wall outside meaning it is far away from my router. According to the smart Ai device via its app on my phone it reports Weak Signal when I see its connected to my Router via 5 GHz and Great Signal when I see its connected to my Router via 2.4Ghz.
I have issues on 5 Ghz for the device but no issues for 2.4 Ghz. The problem is I cannot choose which frequency band in the device app on my phone so why my router sometimes automatically nominates 5 GHz for a device that is far away from it? When it automatically selects 2.4 Ghz I have no issues with the device meaning I can connect to the device via its app but intermittently whenever the router feels like choosing 2.4 Ghz for it.
In my router how do I permanently set 2.4 Ghz for my device please?
Another unrelated question is lets say for example I have a PS5 console that I do online gaming via wireless wi-fi. My ISP speed is 250 Mbps. The router advertises its max speed 1000 Mbps. On both frequencies 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz frequencies the PS5 reports excellent signal with the same download and upload speeds. The question is will the online gaming performance be the same on both frequencies, no difference or will there be a difference in ping or whatever? And will the interference like turning a microwave on will affect online gaming in 2.4 ghz when channel is set to Auto in router settings?
Features of wifi 6 is available for both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz?
Lastly does wi-fi 6 benefits battery powered devices more over mains powered devices or is it both the same?
Finally why the Real-time Rate shown in my Router settings measured in KB/s for my devices connected to it? What is the Ratio between KB/s and the ISP's 250 Mbps?
