AX53 EasyMesh slow internet on 1st floor. How to increase
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello.
I have 300 Mb/s internet speed. I bought one Archer AX53 for ground floor and second Archer AX53 for the 1st floor. And I connected both router via EasyMesh. Main router is on the ground floor. Second router is on 1st floor directly in the room above the main router. Unfortunately on 1st floor internet speed I slow (only 8-12Mb/s - Maybe it's the thick concrete ceiling).
How I can to increase te internet speed on 1st floor? Currently, I do not have cables connected to the 1st floor. But I already think that this will probably be the best solution.
If I connect the cable to the 1st floor, what is the best way to configure these devices so that they work like with EasyMesh, i.e. the devices automatically connect to the strongest router if I walk between floors.
Hi,
How have you currently positioned the routers' antennas?
Here is a bit of theory on the type of antenna used in the Archer AX53.
This type of pole antenna emits most of its signal and is most sensitive for reception along the long sides of the antennas, while at the same time almost no signal is emited from or received by the tips of the antennas.
So, in case you had the antennas positioned like it's usually shown in product pictures (like below) and one Archer AX53 is located directly above the other Archer AX53, then that would basically be the worst condition it could be for the Mesh backhaul between the two routers.
Regarding the your last question. In case your Archer AX53 were both hardware version "V2", then you would be very lucky and you would be able to setup an EasyMesh with Ethernet backhaul (i.e. the two routers connected by cable), but if one or both of your Archer AX53 are "V1", then this is currently not supported.
