f) Position the antennas on the Router in opposite orientations.
My wireless adapter does not connect at the maximum wireless speed.
a) Your wireless network adapter may be outdated and have older wireless technology not capable of
achieving the wireless network speeds of the Router. To achieve maximum wireless speeds, it is
required that you have a 802.11n (2.4GHz) or 802.11ac (5.0GHz) adapter. To obtain a data rate of
1733Mbps on the 5GHz band or 800Mbps on the 2.4GHz band the network adapter used to connect to
the Router must support the same data rates.
b) Check that you are using the latest Wi-Fi security type: WPA or WPA2
WEP security may slow down your wireless speeds.
c) Check that the Router's wireless data rate is set to AUTO or 11N (2.4GHz) and 11AC (5.0GHz) data rate
speeds.
d) Wireless speeds degrade as you get further away from the wireless router.
e) Check that the wireless channel set on the Router is not crowded. Try changing the wireless channel
to another channel and test the speed again.
f) Do not use Internet websites (i.e. speedtest.net or other websites) to test your wireless speeds. Speed
test websites measure your Internet connection speed, which is controlled by your Internet provider.
Wireless speeds are for your local network and not your Internet connection. To test wireless speeds,
a local test or file transfer will be required to test the true wireless speed.
