Hey there everyone
I recently got a dual-band WiFi TP Link AX3000/AX53 router.
To save money and speed up my upload, I changed from Telstra to Exetel.
The mesh TP Link RE200 wifi extender has also been configured.
However, when my iPhone XR is connected to 5GHz, some websites won't load at all, and streaming services will stop and then never restart. Everything else appears to be operating as it should.
My phone has a strong 3 bar 5Ghz wifi signal.
It seems to be much quicker and more stable if I move to 2.4 GHz. Tests of speed reveal little variation between the two.
In order for my phone to connect to 2.4 GHz, I turned off Smart Connect.
Do you sometimes anticipate this? Dual band routers are new to me. I don't know if my previous router, a Telstra Gen2 smart modem, was dual band or not because I never updated its settings.
Only two of the approximately 13 connected devices are hardwired. Only mine is on at this time because it is 3am.
I only made one other alteration, which was to connect a Cat6 cable to the WAN port on the router and the NBN box. I've previously used Cat5e because I'd heard they were superior.
Is everything I did correct? There could be something I didn't configure.
