My Wifi was having some issues reaching out in the bathroom, sometimes randomly disconnecting, and response time was getting a bit slow on my 2.4GHz network due to buying more smart devices recently. I also disliked the lack of options in the router provided by my ISP (Sagemcom Fast V3890v3)
So I got a Asus GT-AX11000 . I love all the options it has, being able to set up a VPN, prioritize one device over others, etc., and the office has everything running blazing fast on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, making my smart lights way more responsive.
However, now there's barely any signal out in the bathroom, disconnecting way more frequently, and my Apple Watch can no longer connect to it at all out there. It's gotten worse in my closer-by kitchen too, with my phone randomly switching to Data because it's so slow (for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks). It also seems to fluctuate quite a bit out in the kitchen.
It seems a bit better if I set 2.4GHz to be 20Mhz only instead of 20/40 MHz, but it's still worse than with the old router.
What the heck is going on? What settings should I look into, for boosting wall penetration?
