Any of yall fukk with wifi mesh?

that sucks but if you have an android phone you could try using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer to select and connect to your 5ghz network.

if he's on a mesh with 1 ssid broadcast it defaults to 2.4ghz

most devices will default to the 2GHz.

its best to broadcast 2 ssid if you want to use exclusive 5GHz

thats the problem, google wifi doesn't offer that option at all but thats the cost of using automagically configured devices. theres gonna be some pros and cons.

neither did my orbi but i found a way to with command prompt to change the 5ghz name and it didnt work.. LOL...

but my other router i use the 5ghz only on my stationary devices. TV, roku, ps4, etc. anything mobile i use the orbi mesh. to much walking around ot ensure it'll stay on 5Ghz

Nest WiFi shyt the bed this morning. Yesterday my 100mbps connection kept running at 20mbps. Today it went down completely. Plugged the modem up to a PC off the switch direct and no internet issues. Factory reset both Nest routers, swapped their locations and I'm back up and running but if I keep having problems I'm dumping these.

speed drops seems to be common with google wifi.

were you using 2.4ghz or 5ghz?

2.4ghz tend to be crowded.

I don't know because it doesn't allow you to choose. My device usually prefers 5ghz but in the same room as the router either way I should be at full speed.

I returned my deco M3, PS4 couldn't connect, lagging during gameplay, inconsistent speed, it did have a good wifi range.

You have get the premium mesh o get the most out of mesh network
*Always get TRIband and not dual band.

what device you got... I have the netger orbi and cant choose but you can go into router with telnet and rename them so they have separate name

still liking your router?

Definitely. Haven't had any issues.

iPhone 12 Pro. Google dumbs down the Wi-Fi so you can't do anything like that. You have to use the Google Home app.

You're plugging into a mesh or router because the mesh Ethernet was bad, matter of fact the PS4 has bad ethernet, I plugged it through Ethernet from the router 85mbps, a little faster than wifi, but all other devices connected Ethernet are over 500 mbps
