![]() Need to stager channel 36 and 149 non DFS channels for 5ghz, overlapping at the extreme edges.īased on other comments, I have them now AC Pro (2nd floor) on 5Ghz Channel 139, and Nano HD (1st floor) on 5Ghz Channel 48. Most obvious place is a 3rd AP on opposite side of 2nd floor but I don't have way to hard wire it. I'm guessing you need more APs to fill dead zones They'll then do their normal search thing and find the closer one. Turn down your APs' transmit power as much as you can without sacrificing coverage where you need it, then if necessary use the minimum RSSI setting to kick off clients that just refuse to let an AP go. For those, the correct answer is a combination of reducing power and a bit of force. It's then allowed to check every 30 minutes to see if the channel is available again.īeyond changing channels, something I've always had issues with is "sticky" devices staying connected to the wrong AP and having poor performance due to distance. When you select one of these channels, your radios will be required to listen for anything that sounds like a radar and either refuse to operate on the selected channel or stop using it within 10 seconds if already active. These channels are borrowed from weather radars which remain primary users. If you have to ask, you don't need the other channel options. Only use those three unless you have very special circumstances. 1, 6, and 11 are the three non-overlapping channels in 2.4GHz WiFi. In case this help, these are my RF scans:ĭo not use channel 9. High performance Devices (Connect high performance clients to 5Ghz only): offĮnable Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery: off 5G is set to VHT80, High Transmit and Channel 136 (DFS).ĭTIM 2G Period: 3 (since I read that iPhone has issue if not 3)Įnable Multicast enhancement (IGMPv3): on ![]() 5G is set to VHT80, High transmit and Channel 56 (DFS).ġst Floor Nano HD: 2G is set to HT40, medium transmit and Channel 6. This then allows me to set 2F devices that I know won't roam to connect directly to that AP.Ģnd floor AC Pro: 2G is set to HT20, Medium transmit, and Channel 9. ![]() So on my 2nd floor AP (the AC Pro), I override HomeWifi-2.4 to HomeWifi-2.4-2F. So I then used a tip I found to use the "Override" feature to change the SSID for a given WLAN for a specific AP to something else. I found that some second floor devices would be connecting to the AP downstairs and report to have crappy signal strength and i saw connectivity issues. Multiple wifi networks created (names made up for this ease of explanation): HomeWifi (both 2.4 and 5ghz), HomeWifi-2.4 (for devices that I want explicitly on 2.4) It may be a placebo but if i toggle wifi off and back on, it seems to help. When the iPhone hits an issue, it seems to have connectivity but it's dead slow (e.g Youtube videos will just sit there trying to play but won't). I'm generally just doing general web browsing, email or coding on it and not streaming video (unlike our iphones where we are consuming media more) My laptop seems to have no issue but I've never dug into speed issues. Generally slower speeds in most places on my phone.

This is wallmounted in one bedroom on far end of house. Got this due to the 2nd ethernet port so I could hard wire my Desktop PC in the finished attic/office. It's hard wired to my Unifi switch in basement. Some walls are lathe and plaster which hurts the wifi a bit in places.Ĭentury Link gigabit fiber into a USG Pro 4 (which is tagging VLAN traffic so I could eliminate their gear).ġ x Unifi AC Pro on 2nd floor. This is why I'm posting here :)Ģ700 square foot house over 2 floors + finished attic on 3rd floor. To be clear, this isn't a critique on Unifi/Ubiquiti, I realize that this has to do with me needing to tweak/tune things. While my devices like my iPhone stay connected, it seems like I need to toggle wifi to successfully get data, and speeds overall seems lower. I switched from an Eero system to Unifi APs in my 2700 square foot house since I already had other Unifi gear, and I liked idea of having a totally integrated networking system.įast forward 3 months and I'm struggling with wifi speeds and connection reliability.
