The old one was garbage (thanks for selling me that one mr isp) Downloads are 10 times faster now on ps4, and laptops don't have to reconnect 10 times a day. That's on standard 2.4ghz btw, the 5ghz connection did drop on the iPhone and didn't want to connect again. I switched that to 2.4ghz which has better signal strength. Is it normal that 5ghz has less signal strength? It works fine on my wife's laptop, hasn't dropped once on there. Perhaps iCrap was just in an iMood. Seems to switch to 5ghz fine now. |
Yes. It is VERY normal for 5ghz to have less signal. A 2.4ghz signal can usually go for hundreds of feet (I can get signal about half a block away on my 2.4ghz network). Conversely, a 5ghz is designed to only go 30-50ft (depending on the grade of the router) and sucks at wall penetration (the shorter wave length).
