2022年1月5日 · The R8500 is a pretty solid router. the N300, not so much. Are you using the same ssid with the N300 as you are the R8500? Are you using smart connect on the R8500? If so, I'd recommend disabling it and setting your devices to a specific band. You put your home is 80x50 with 4 levels but split. Are you saying its square footage is 16,000 sqft (50x80x4 levels) …

I turned on Netspot Reporter and noticed that there was only one 5Ghz band, th...

2021年12月3日 · I was wondering if there is a limit to IoT devices connected to the router. I have probably 30 right now and with working from home, router seems to struggle. I don't have any 6g devices so wondering if there is anything I can do to improve the R8500 and if the newer WiFi 6 routers are going to he...
