no 802.11ax available for 2.4ghz with tl-wr1502x
Hello,
i have a bunch of rather exotic Mercusys MA14N AX300 Nano Wireless USB Adapters , which do support AX mode, but only can do 2,4Ghz.
currently they won't connect any faster then 54Mbs with 802.11n with my fritz box, which doesn't support AX
so i tried tl-wr1502x in AP mode - but unfortunately it does not offer AX mode on 2.4ghz .
is there any chance to get this supported?
chatgpt tells:
can most routers do ax mode on 2.4ghz? my tp-link wr1502ax doesn't
Short answer: yes, most Wi-Fi 6 routers can run 802.11ax on 2.4 GHz — but many don’t enable it by default, and some models (especially travel routers) limit it.
What the standard allows
The IEEE 802.11ax spec explicitly supports:
- 2.4 GHz ✔
- 5 GHz ✔
- (6 GHz with Wi-Fi 6E)
So there’s nothing unusual about “AX on 2.4 GHz” from a standards perspective.
can TP-Link remove this limitation, so that i can use my devices with 300Mbps instead of 54Mbps ?
Hi @RolandKl ,
Yes, you are correct; the 2.4 GHz band on the TL-WR1502X indeed does not yet support 802.11ax.
The screenshot you previously saw was taken from a generic simulator rather than the router's actual web management interface. Therefore, we have determined that this was a display error. And we have already forwarded this error to the relevant department for correction. Thank you for your feedback.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reply to us.
