A Wifi Question....
Fios 100/100. Purchased the VZ Quantum router vs paying their retarded rental fee. ($100 up front vs $10 a month for atleast the 2yr contract.) Router handles the wifi, and the LAN ports feed the hardwire connections in the house.
LAN connection produces appropriate speed at all hardwire points in the house.
WIFI is garbage.
Have 27 devices connected to my 2.4 channel. Between Personal/Work Cells, Personal/Work PCs, Tablets/Ipads, Streaming devices, gaming systems, home automation....
My 5 channel has always been garbage and spotty.
Issues started to show themselves with the recent addition of the last 4-5 devices (2 Home minis, Smart TV, Vizio Soundbar, and Nintendo Switch)
No amount of reboots, resets, channel changes etc has helped. My signal strength and channel choice are set to the best rated channel using the wifi analyzer on my phone, but my DL speed fluctuates between .2 Mbps and 3 Mbps regardless of device. Sometimes it'll spike up to 15 and then near immediately crash back down mid test. The router UI doesn't allow me the ability to prioritize devices.
My initial thoughts are router is shitty and cant handle the # of devices, but prior to buying a new one or giving the google wifi a try, I was curious if there were any additional troubleshooting steps someone would like to enlighten me on.
