hi everyone,
Recently purchased a TP Link AX3000/AX53 router dual band wifi 6.
I have changed ISP from Telstra to Exetel to reduce some costs and get slightly better upload speed.
I also have installed the one mesh TP link RE200 wifi extender.
everything seems to be working correctly, although on my iPhone XR, when connected to 5ghz websites sometimes just don’t load at all, streaming services will pause and not resume.
I have full 3 bar wifi signal on my phone with 5Ghz.
if I switch over to 2.4ghz it seems much more stable and faster. Speed tests indicate only a slight variation in speeds between the 2.
I have turned off smart connect so I can connect my phone to 2.4ghz
Is this to be expected sometimes? I’m new to dual band routers, my previous router was the Telstra Gen2 smart modem I’m not sure if that was dual band but I never went into the settings for it ever.
We have about 13 devices connected, 2 wired the rest wifi. Only mine is active right now as it’s 3am.
The only other thing I changed was a Cat6 cable into Wan port on router and into NBN box. Previously it was Cat5e as I read they were better?
Have I done everything correctly? Maybe something I have missed in setting up.
