Title: dir-x1860 help
Post by: Megachips on June 26, 2021, 03:32:29 AM

I have 1 dir-x 1860 as you may have guessed :)  My problem is although I have 2 wi-fi 6 PCs, windows 10 shows the router using 802.11a protocol,  I get the same speeds  when using the normal router even when I am in the same room less than 2 feet away.  The wi-fi card shows as wi-fi6 in windows description but it looks like the router isn't connecting as expected  (may as well be using the old router)  The 1860 does show a connection speed of 1gb to the internet.  I'm not a complete newbie but know just enough to be dangerous ;)  One of the wi-fi cards is set to force ax but that makes no difference either.

Many thanks for reading I hope you can enlighten me.
