    WiFi 6 GHZ only works when Legion 5 is away from Netgear RAXE500 router

    Yes, I can see and connect it when I'm in my room, away from the router.

    WiFi 6 GHZ only works when Legion 5 is away from Netgear RAXE500 router

    But this isn't an issue with other devices, just the Lenovo. Why? Is it because it's a Chinese version? Are Tx Powers in China much lower?

    WiFi 6 GHZ only works when Legion 5 is away from Netgear RAXE500 router

    I just recently purchased a Lenovo Legion 5 (Gen 14th Intel based) Gen 9 laptop 💻 which is a Chinese version. This laptop has trouble detecting 6 GHZ network when my laptop is in close range with the Netgear RAXE500, I have all the latest updates including, drivers, bios, but the problem still...

    TP-Link RE815XE is the best Wi-Fi 6e Extender in 2023

    I just bought a RE815XE Wi-Fi extender to boost the Wi-Fi throughput across my 2BHK apartment since I already have 2 Netgear routers, it made sense to extend the Wi-Fi using a Wifi extender in Bridge mode. Earlier I planned to get the Netgear EAX80 which is a Wi-Fi 6 & not a Wi-Fi 6e to...

    ASUS GT-AXE11000 Vs Netgear RAXE500

    Most of the time the speed of the isp is constant, what matters is, which router performs better at further distance. In my case, the Netgear RAXE500 just simply outperformed the Asus GT-AXE11000, but Netgear isn't a perfect machine either, there is a bug on the RAXE500 with SMB protocol with...

    Review NETGEAR EX8000 Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band WiFi Range Extender Reviewed

    I tried the R7800 in Repeater mode, suprisingly it did worse than my Dlink 4x4 MU-MIMO Range Extender. It's only good as a Router.

    ASUS GT-AXE11000 Vs Netgear RAXE500

    There is a manual inside the box, just check the transmit power on it. For me it stated, 192 mW 22 dbm, yours must be higher.

    ASUS GT-AXE11000 Vs Netgear RAXE500

    I'm wondering if getting a NAS is worth the investment, since I might move to my home country if things don't improve where I'm at currently. The RAXE500 has been having the samba issues on Android. The USB transfer or even playing back Dolby Atmos or high bitrate file when using the SMB...

    ASUS GT-AXE11000 Vs Netgear RAXE500

    You can still use the community forum, I have used it many times, but I do agree with you, Netgear has been having lots of bugs lately with their new routers. The last best thing that ever came out from Netgear was the R7800. It provides solid WiFi tho.

    Review NETGEAR RAXE500 Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router Reviewed

    It's much better than the ASUS GT-AXE11000 for sure, but I found a bug on it. If you're using USB 3.0 on the router with SMB a.k.a SAMBA file transfers on Android, you'll notice buggy slow performance with it. Edit: In other words, Readyshare is buggy, let's hope Netgear fixes this in their...

    Review NETGEAR RAXE500 Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router Reviewed

    I know this is a very old thread, but I don't understand why the ASUS GT-AXE11000 was placed on the 1st rank for WiFi 6E routers. The Netgear RAXE500 deserves the crown for this. I have both, Asus GT-AXE11000 and Netgear RAXE500, if you're doing a range test, the Netgear is a much better at...

    Asus AC86U HW version R1.8

    It also depends on wall outlets, I have 2 wall outlets, so one is occupied by the extender, and another one 2M away is for my 2nd router in the room. Yes I know wireless AiMesh is repeater/extender mode, but if wiring isn't possible then it's a hit or a miss with them. If one is going for a...

    Asus AC86U HW version R1.8

    For me the AiMesh seemed to be very unstable, never tried the Netgear Orbi and don't even care cause, Orbi has no USBs for SMB server. At the moment, since I'm living in a 2 BHK flat, with concrete walls, the DLINK DAP 1860 is still rocking as I'm using this extender in Wireless Bridge mode...

    Asus AC86U HW version R1.8

    For those who want to save some money, they can still get an excellent router which is Netgear R7800, the strongest range in its class. Infact It has way better range than my Netgear WiFi 6/Wifi6E routers
