Hello....
I currently own the Netgear R8000, and it seems really good mostly...USB3 speeds are not I find, but my main issue is the channels, I am based in the UK and the region is defaulted to Europe. My first 5ghz band is on channels 35 to 48, the second 5ghz band is channels 100 to 109 these also have DFS....
the range is ok on band 1, but only my laptop can see band 2, I have a ipad air 2, Fire TV x 3 and none of them can see the 2nd 5ghz band...
roll this forward to last night, I thought I would just have a play, so I changed the region to Asia...... and bam! suddenly every device can see both bands and the range is amazing, I am getting a 5ghz connection in my garden (yard for you USA folks) where on the EU region it would drop out at the back end of my kitchen, but on the 5ghz band 1 the channels are the same as EU, but range is better, on 5ghz band 2 the channels have changed fully from 100-109 (DFS) to 149(P) + 153 + 157 + 161 with no DFS
I am going to presume that I have done something bad here? and by circumventing (even though you are allowed to choose) the EU channels I am causing issues? but I also don't understand why I get better range on the Asia region setting when it is using the same channels?
any ideas welcomed
