Resolution

The network functioning will depend on your overall network configuration, you can follow these recommendations to improve the performance:

  • Use the recommended settings for your wireless adapter. You can also visit Recommended Settings for 802.11ac Connectivity and Recommended Settings for 802.11ax Connectivity.
  • Test the different bands available (2.GHz, 5GHz)
  • Verify that your whole system configuration is compatible and supported (If you are using an AC router with an AX card you may not be able to achieve all the features available for AX connectivity).
