 magic_rb | fuck | 11:08:19 |
 K900 | It's trying to avoid overlapping channels | 11:08:28 |
| magic_rb | what do i do about it? | 11:09:05 |
| magic_rb | its at 20mhz channel width | 11:09:11 |
| K900 | Nothing probably | 11:09:58 |
| K900 | 2.4G is always going to be slow | 11:10:08 |
| magic_rb | its the only one that works in my room | 11:11:12 |
| magic_rb | 5ghz slows to 0.69 mbps | 11:11:19 |
| magic_rb | the moment i leave my room it goes to 100mbps | 11:11:26 |
| magic_rb | okay so if i connect to the 5g in the living room and walk into my room it works | 11:13:52 |
| magic_rb | but if im not connected, ie no beam forming it doesnt see it at all | 11:14:02 |
| magic_rb | wtf is in thees fucking walls, lead??? | 11:14:08 |
| magic_rb | the building is from the 1960s | 11:14:14 |
| magic_rb | i still cant connect to the 6g but it might be my laptop tbh, its the only device that can do 6g | 11:19:22 |
| magic_rb | Redacted or Malformed Event | 11:21:31 |
| magic_rb | nevermind | 11:21:37 |
| magic_rb | down: 604
up: 128

 emily | I thought 160 MHz was kinda bad for range/reliability or something. not true? | 11:55:51 |
 toonn | Higher frequencies are always worse at range due to physics. | 11:59:34 |
| K900 | No? | 12:00:14 |
| K900 | Generally higher frequencies means lower range | 12:00:39 |
| K900 | But this is not frequency | 12:00:42 |
| K900 | This is bandwidth | 12:00:44 |
| emily | I think what I read was "it means that if you have trouble getting signal on any of the channels it screws things up". but I guess the only reason that would happen is if there's an interfering AP. | 12:02:04 |
| emily | also, what I read could have just been wrong, on account of the internet. | 12:02:31 |
| emily | (meanwhile my laptop thinks that the 80 MHz AP I already have set up is actually 40 MHz. no idea why. pretty sure it supports 80 MHz.) | 12:04:21 |
| K900 | Regdomain? | 12:09:11 |
| K900 | Probably | 12:09:12 |
| K900 | You need to set it explicitly on most hardware | 12:09:20 |
 antifuchs | Something something interlacing | 12:09:36 |
