![]() ![]() Wife is getting pissed because I'm the one in charge of "this stuff" and it's been weak for almost a year.Īre my problems because of cheaper routers? Network congestion? (suburban neighborhood with wifi everything). You buy one for as little as 30, plug it into an outlet, and your problem is solved. I'd be suspicious that the router was literally just testing network speed but in the test you see it choose a local city and facility to test to/from. To anyone with a slow, spotty internet connection, WiFi range extenders sound like a bargain. Via the built in Speedtest test in the Linksys app it's over 300 with a better ping. Using the Speedtest app on my phone I get speeds of like 2 or 3 down. Internet on my phone is frustrsting and I can't really delve into a whole lot of settings because the Linksys app dumbs things down. Couple examples of Alexa devices disconnecting again. The Nest doorbell has been more consistent but my upstairs TV is sometimes streaming at lower resolutions so I suspect its either low speeds on the 2.5 band or poor connectivity to the 5ghz band. This router has the band steering and it sucks but I figured I'd give it a chance. How to Check Wifi connection speed with LINKSYS WRT54G v1.0: Install WiFi Speed Test - Internet Speed Test app from Google Play Store. Best Buy had Linksys MR7300 on sale for $50 off its $150 tag. Use the Linksys app anywhere you have an internet connection to check. ![]() Chalked it all up to the brand after finding other people had similar experience. This app is the command center for your Velop system and Linksys Smart WiFi routers. Alexa type devices randomly offline frequently. Wifi on 2.5GHz was intermittent and crappy when it was working. Figured since my wife and I both have phones that support it I'd stay ahead of the curve a bit. About a year ago, maybe a little less, I purchased a TP-link wifi6 router. ![]()
