    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    I don't know what you mean by non-standard wi-fi extensions, so I assume I don't have anything enabled ;) Its a very basic setup, and I didn't tweak anything really. No QOS, no trendnet, etc. I have no explanation for this encryption thing causing a slowdown. From everything I've read...

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    Yes i tried that. Didn’t help. The only thing that helps so far is changing the encryption. And I’m not at all clear why that works.

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    I can't change the channel directly on the media bridge. I can only change the main router AX86u channel. The media bridge follows suit I think. Isn't that correct? Although I haven't been able to solve this WPA2 Personal slow down issue, I did find that a lower channel improved the speeds...

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    Yes roughly that distance. But I can try anyway temporarily.

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    Not specifically, but there is an airport near so I was under the assumption that those should be avoided.

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    I use it when I connect multiple computers to the bridge and need to transfer files between them and the basement computer. The media bridge is twice as fast when the encryption is set to WPA/WPA2 personal. It is 1/6 the speed or less when the encryption is WPA2-Personal. That is what I...

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    Sorry, I hadn't mentioned it, but I tried various CCs and that didn't impact the issue. I tried channels on the low end (36, etc) and on the high end (149,153, etc). I've avoided dfs channels.

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    This is really annoying me, so I continued to play with it. Something weird is going on so I'll share my info in case it provides any clues. I have fios 300/300 internet. The speedtest seems to be affected only with upload when using the media bridge. speed with AX card only speed with...

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    I will be careful what I wish for ;) Is there any way to know which devices are using which protocol from the web Gui or app?

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    I understand the choice you are stating. I'm trying to troubleshoot which device is the problem. I don't have old devices on the 5ghz band. I do have some older printers etc on the 2.4 band. So I'm just trying to understand how to troubleshoot further if possible. Could the 2.4 band be...

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    OK, I don't know why but when I switch to WPA2 personal, the speed plummets again. Moving it back to WPA/WPA2 gets it back to the 64MB/s. I'm wondering if it could it be another device on the network that is affecting something. I'm not sure if that even makes sense, but Is there a way to...

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    Awesome, thanks a lot. I will play around some more but its already a big improvement. The iperf through the media bridge is now below. Way higher than before.

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    I will try the different control channels to see if there is further improvement. What would be the theoretical max here? I'm getting over 60MB/s now so I'm curious what the limit is for an AC class media bridge. Thanks so much L&LD, and glens for taking the time to respond and clue me in...

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    I guess not ;) I thought it would choose what was appropriate. Its an amazing difference now. It peaks at 64MB/s now with the same file. Thanks so much for your help and pointing me in the right direction.

    Transfer speed slower on media bridge vs wifi only

    OK, there is progress but I can't explain it. I looked at all my settings, and changed the below. It was on wpa2/wpa3 personal. I changed it to wpa/wpa2 personal. Now the media bridge is roughly twice as fast as the ax card. So it seems like its resolved, but I don't know why. media...
