Seems ignorance is bliss and this gear is a lot smarter than me! Not realizing my router and my devices were merrily operating on the 5GHz band, likely in most cases. Everything worked well on dual band for years and I watched my internet speeds creep up well past the 100Mbps cap of 2.4Ghz. Not requiring 4K at the time and after testing I elected to “turn it off”, not realizing I was simply restoring my router to dual band.

I was able to receive enough signal for an older Apple TV and networked speaker bar. In my old house(3 story) I experimented with 5GHz a while back, but found one room in particular was too far away to effectively receive a good wifi signal. This leads me to conclude my my 2.4GHz band is not performing well at all.Īny suggestions about improving speeds on the 2.4GHz band or do I need to be on the 5GHz band for optimal speeds nearing 600Mbs on the Shaw system? Directing my devices to the 2.5GHz band I get much slower speeds. This leads me to think that over the years devices have been connecting to the faster 5GHz band on my wifi router automatically, thereby getting maximum speeds. Even though it appears that by adding a separate SSID for the 5GHz band that I would then have to manually direct my devices to which band to operate on.Īfter a bit of troubleshooting including modem and router reboot the problem persists. I contacted Apple and they said putting a separate name to the 5GHz band should not interfere with the 2.4GHz band. I am now assuming my devices tended to connect to the 5GHz band. I have had my Airport router set to automatically offer 2.4Ghz and 5GHz for years and got very good speed on Shaw Internet. As soon as I turned on the 5GHZ with its own SSID, all my devices appeared to get dramatically slower connections as follows:

All my devices worked well getting respectable download times on a 600 Mbps account.

Before that I gather my AirPort Extreme wifi router was set to offer up both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands simultaneously. This was to aid the TV to find the faster 5GHz connection. While troubleshooting my new TV wifi connection I set my wifi router to a discrete 5GHz SSID.
