ac mode not working on my mac
« on: January 23, 2015, 05:15:40 PM »

Hi
My Mac mini and macbook could not connect to ac wifi and they choose n network instead but my android phone connects to ac.
I already tested ac only on 5ghz and it didn't solve the problem.
Router and clients are in same room.router firmware is the latest version.
What should I do for connecting to ac network.
What can be wrong?

This is what my Mac Mini supports:

I don't think AC mode is supported.  :-\

So if you want to use AC modes, you could install a USB AC adapter or connect the Mac via LAN wire to a AC wireless bridge.  ;)

Thats too bad, the 868L is a good N router too.

Good Luck.

Did you disable HT 20/40 Coexistance and go single mode N WPA2/AES only?
Changing channels is important too to one thats open and not used.
