rcher C9 - 4.0.0 Build 20150811 Rel. 57338 - Manual channel settings problem

2015-09-16 07:26:29

Model : Archer C9

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version : 4.0.0 Build 20150811 Rel. 57338

ISP : n/a

Hi,

Just a heads up as I tried reporting via support email but got no joy.

I am a UK user utilising both 2.4 and 5Ghz signals.

I have manually set the 2.4ghz signal to channel 13 as this is the channel with no other local Wi-Fi users present.

To identify this I use both InSSIDer 3 and Acrylic Wi-Fi (Free version) on Wimdows 7.

On the previous firmware these sniiffers both show one aerial assigned to 5ghz and two assignd to 2.4Ghz,

When setting manually both the 2.4 Ghz showed as being physically and logically on channel 13 (InSSIDer show 1 aerail supporting b,g (54mbps) and b,g,n (216mbps),

Using the new firmware this same scenario show the b,g,n signal moves as expected to channel 13 but the b,g moves to channel 6!

Setting the channels to auto on 2.4ghz sets both signals to channel 1 (a very crowded channel locally).

I have tried to explain what it is that I think is wrong or at least would like an explanation as to the change in behaviour but have failed.

Thanks,

K

With the new 4.0.0 firmware, do all your Wired and Wireless Clients appear on the Basic Network Map? And in the associated tables?

Hi bluechip,

Yes everything appears as I would expect.

Wanted to post a jpeg to show the behaviour but can't, so this is what I see from Acrylic:

-------

SSID My Description RSS Chan 802.11 Max. Speed Vendor

MySSID Low Speed b,g - 51 6 b, g 54 Mbps Azurewave Technologies. Inc.
MySSID High Speed n - 51 13 b, g, n 216.7 Mbps TP-LINK TECHNOLOGIES CO.LTD

--------
[FONT=Calibri]
This is not all the information from Acrylic but is the relevant info. FYI "My Description" is text that I supplied and is only meant for my own use.

Previously when setting manually both of these ended up on channel 13 and worked with no issue.

But now the first one is stuck on channel 6 when not set to auto.

My Vita picked up the channel 6 signal which given I have a local signal that overpowers everything on that channel it struggles with signal strength even in a one bedroom flat/apartment.

Downgraded the firmware today and this made no difference .

But luckily for me this is not a huge issue but may affect other differently.

[/FONT] Thanks for replying,

K

PS Apologies about the formatting and colour!

Do you have a wide channel width?

Hi Almaretto,

Thanks for your reply but I do not see the relevance of the question to a channel allocation problem to but to answer the question it is set to auto and is therefore 20ghz.

The logical view of my SSID using inSSIDer3 shows a radio count of 2 for the 2.4ghz band and these are 6+13 where previously they both changed to 13 when setting manually - this is my issue,

I preferred the previous behaviour as this moved the signal away from the majority of local stations which are clustered around channels 1 and 6.

Thanks,

K
