Hi Team,

This is regarding WiFi Speeds, product indicates 2.4 GHz supports 300 Mbps, but I get only 60Mbps.
(My internet speed is 300Mbps, 5GHz gives the complete 300Mbps)


Can you please help me get the speed close to 300Mbps. Thanks in advance.

The lower bandwidth could be due to a strong wireless interference around you.

Try scanning the 2.4GHz band with an app like 'inSSIDer' or 'Wi-Fi Analyzer' to check that.

Then set the 2.4GHz band to the least crowded wireless channel  and test again.

Even in a perfect environment you won't get speed 300 mbps on a 2.4 GHz band,

since wireless connection type is half-duplex - check this story for more details on that matter.

Hey Terziyski,

Thanks for the reply...
Before even doing any changes to settings, I observed the speed it up and am getting 200Mbps, lucky me XD

As suggested I did changed the channel to 13, earlier I was on 1, just in case
