Best configuration for the combo Archer C20 + RE200
Hi all, I am seeking advice on how to configure my devices to have the best speed + coverage.
I first bought the Archer to have more speed on my WiFi since the router given by my ISP is pretty average to poor. So I plug it in, and it works pretty well and since it is dual I can juice my connection with the 5g network. The only downside was that a certain parts of the house the network got diminished or even lost.
For this I went and buy the RE200 it was pretty easy to configure and set it up to work with my current network.
Now here it comes the ask for help. When I am connected to the extender the network speed on the 5G network gets dramatically reduced, connected with the router I can get up to 40-50 Mbps with the extender it goes down to 15-20 Mbps.
I have tried to move the Channel and the frequency on the WiFi configurations but I have not seen any variation on the speed.
What else could I do to increase the speed on the router. I also tried the High Speed mode but I saw no increase and being honest I feel is a waste since I loose one network (either 2.4 or 5 G).
I would like to know what is better, keep the same SSID or give a new one to the extender?
Thank you all in advance.
Regards,
Felipe.
