Hi.
I seem to be having terrible trouble with 20MHz 802.11 “only N” from my hAP AC.
It’s like there is extreme interference, but I am using a HackRF to look at the spectrum, and I don’t think there is any interference, although I am quite new to it so some of the peaks I am seeing may indeed be interference.
It used to work OK until recently. Might it be temperature related, now that the heating is on in the house (winter time)?
Earlier on, it looked as though the WiFi started to work OK when there was an ethernet connection to ether3 (my laptop) - it seemed like the Amazon echo would start playing music again, but then when I removed my laptop from ether3, after a short while, it’d go bad again. Pings from the laptop over WiFi would timeout or show 12,000ms (12 seconds!) and this is with me sat about 1 metre from the hap AC.
Any ideas? It’s becoming very frustrating not being able to use WiFI on my LG G5 phone from the bedroom, because the 5GHz doesn’t seem to work well upstairs either. My Amazon firetv seems to do OK in the bedroom.
I was on the latest RC firmware, and it fact it almost looked like the problems might have started with this (6.38 rc25 I think it was..) but I have downgraded back to 6.37.1 and it is exactly the same. I can never get more than 6mbps on 802.11n 20Mhz from my Lg G5 mobile, and the amazon echo cuts out. If I set to 20/40MHz then it’s OK on the G5, but same problem on the echo, and anyway, I am of the opinion that a 20MHz channel on its own should be working before I try to work over even more of the spectrum at the same time.
If it matters, I am using PPPoE for the internet. All my ports (2x WiFi, and 5x ether) are in the same bridge-local. PPPoE is going through the same bridge too, for physical cabling reasons..
5GHz AC works reliably but doesn’t cover the house very well, and only my laptop & phone support it (not the Amazon boxes).
