Wifi Connection Issues
So I am a new Telus user who decided to get the 1giga bit plan. The internet works amazing on my gaming devices since i have them connected via ethernet cable. Issue is with the Wifi connection. I am...
Are you running IOS 14? There are reported issues with this and wi-fi.
Quickly disable/enable wi-fi on your phone if you are experiencing issues seems to be the quickest way to resolve this.
I had an iPhone 7 and now have a iPhone 8+. What I found is that they do not like 5 GHz WiFi. I split the 5G and 2.4 G and force the iPhone to use the 2.4G WiFi. It now works perfectly. On 5G it would connect and then after an hour or so it would drop out. Turning it to Airplane Mode or Turning off the WiFi and back on again would fix it, but only for an hour or so. I have no idea why, but 2.4G was the solution for me.
I'm interested in what disadvantages are of splitting into 2.4 and 5
Having difficulty with combined in connecting smart bulbs
I only use a T3200M modem and have no hubs. In the T3200M you can disable the smart steering which uses both bands and set up two individual bands with a different SSID. With each wireless device you decide which band you sign it into. The 2.4G has more range but potentially less separation on the channels for lower throughput. The 5G has better separation and capacity, but less range.
Not sure what the implication is of having hubs. Have no experience.
