802.11n SSID less range than 802.11g SSID?
« on: February 17, 2010, 12:28:32 PM »
Hi guys, I wanted to ask you about this, I have 2 SSID's on my DIR 825, which are:

name: WIFILAN1
Wireless Band :  5GHz Band
802.11 Mode : 802.11n only
Channel Width : 40MHz

name: WIFILAN2
Wireless Band :  2.4GHz Band
802.11 Mode : 802.11g only
Channel Width : 20MHz

Is there any special reason why the WIFILAN2 has a longer signal range? If I go to my kitchen, I barely get the WIFILAN2 signal, but the WIFILAN1 is still present wil mid-level signal.

Since 5GHz is a higher frequency, it's range is decreased. Lower the frequency, greater the range.

Also change your WIFILAN2 802.11 mode to 802.11b/g/n mixed and your channel width to 20/40MHz (Auto).
