    Windows HP laptop takes a long time to connect to Wi-Fi

    Well we don't know what card OP has. I'd agree on software if his HP Spectre has an intel WIFI card. If its Mediatek... Well... it's just crap. :) I tossed a brand new MTK 6E card because it pissed me off to no end. Ping time, Connectivity time frame, and random throughput issues when...

    Windows HP laptop takes a long time to connect to Wi-Fi

    I mean it's a swappable part.. Basically like changing a NVMe SSD. Most warranties only last a year. $500 isn't much money in current economy.. but to each their own. I'm just making the argument incase it's a MediaTek unit. Absolutely the worse experience I've had in modern HW. Intel...

    Windows HP laptop takes a long time to connect to Wi-Fi

    Modern Intel based stuff is usually going to be CNVi integration but can also be PCI-E if manufacturer chooses so. AMD CPU's will use a standard PCI-E interface. Unless it's a proprietary design which was made in conjunction with a major WIFI manufacturer (Nothing comes to mind via x86 CPU)...

    Windows HP laptop takes a long time to connect to Wi-Fi

    Swap WIFI card? I recently acquired a Mediatek 6E card and its complete garbage next to an intel AX200/210. Very slow resume and has throughput accelerations issues on 5G band.

    Low UL throughput over WIFI on new fiber line.. Normal?

    Imtalkintou said that he doesn't believe there's an OLT end side config issue, but firmware (5500XK) with a specific GPON deployment card does make sense to me... Especially since it fixes itself with the GUI "stats" reset at the click of a button.... I have to agree. I have no local congestion...

    Low UL throughput over WIFI on new fiber line.. Normal?

    I thought about this and it does make sense considering the issues with the 6500XK. The 5500XK supports 8 different GPON deployment cards: Source: https://www.axon-networks.com/products/gpon-ont I'll just assume it's bugged with the specific OLT being used. There's 6 Calix options. Prob...

    AX68 to AX86

    AX86 models have more cores. The AX68 fully piggybacks off the main dual core A53 processor. AX86's main 4x4 radio has its own A7 NPU. @ 1.5-1.7ghz depending on if you buy a Pro/Non pro variant. 1+4+0 config for U variants. 1+2+0 for S AX86S. Only real benefit is that the main 5G radio will...

    Low UL throughput over WIFI on new fiber line.. Normal?

    I don't doubt that it could be a local topology issue or faulty setting. I just know that CPU sided performance is influencing throughput.. 5500XK Unit is offloading UL... Which makes me question if this is intentional or just a bug. You can even see this happening over wired where it will...

    Low UL throughput over WIFI on new fiber line.. Normal?

    I was hoping I could at least try an indoor Calix unit here, but they're saving whatever they have left for legacy replacements and phone line connectivity. It's possible that theres a hardware conflict with the specific Calix build they're running here as to why it glitches out, but it...

    Low UL throughput over WIFI on new fiber line.. Normal?

    I've been sending info to Imtakintou. He's forwarding my info to a labs team. Not sure if anything will come out of it. Also not sure if this is intentional or a bug considering acceleration works "pre router" then bottlenecks shortly after. Modern PCs can obviously handle offloading, but I...

    Low UL throughput over WIFI on new fiber line.. Normal?

    Final Update 2 (lol): I think I have it figured out for anyone else who has a problem with LUMEN/Quantum fiber in the future. Its just an acceleration issue on UL end from ONT. (Seems to offload to other side of RJ-45.) I pulled out legacy router hardware with slower CPUs and the capability...

    Low UL throughput over WIFI on new fiber line.. Normal?

    Final update: it's 100% LUMEN ISP or hardware issue on their end. Transparent bridge mode started bottlenecking upload throughput on ***wired*** after around 2 days. Factory resetting ONT back to default *router mode* was the only way to fix it. I already had LUMEN swap my original ONT, but...

    Low UL throughput over WIFI on new fiber line.. Normal?

    Nothing else makes sense from a technical aspect. The WIFI works as expected (every router) if I trickle the GPON plug... which is weird given LAN always pegs max throughput. Edit: WIFI performance is variable depending on device being used (I assume due to power limits and my other routers...

    Low UL throughput over WIFI on new fiber line.. Normal?

    Because were going in circles. But yes, "stuck" is a fine way to describe it. Still cant fathom how there's interference from WIFI given the situation. EMI? Maybe.... But It would have to be electrical wiring.

    Low UL throughput over WIFI on new fiber line.. Normal?

    Unpluging and Replug GPON connector fixes throughput similar to RJ45, but its the same limited duration. Foil doesn't seem to do anything. If I entertain that it is WIFI, I'm still not understanding why it only impacts upload speeds (DL is completely fine) from the ONT and on 6-7ghz...
