Opinions on the built in wifi for gen 5?
I just got gen5 today, and while the service itself is excellent, I'm a bit skeptical of the wifi. We have one of our desktops across the house that always worked by using a USB wifi adapter and neve...
From the looks of things that wireless adapter only supports WPA and WPA2 with TKIP+AES and not WPA2-AES...
You may want to try changing the wifi settings on the HT2000w to see if it works better...
1: Visit http://www.systemcontrolcenter.com in your browser.
2: Click Wifi Settings.
3: Enter in the router password, by default it is "admin" with out the quotations.
4: Change the WPA Mode to WPA/WPA2 - this should cause the cipher suite to change to TKIP-AES.
If you have issues with your other devices afterwards, you may need to tell them to forget the old network setting and reconnect them. If devices can no longer see the 2.4Ghz band, you will have to change back to WPA2 and find a better wifi adapter that supports WPA2-AES
Well, I personally don't know enough about Wi-Fi and routers to suggest anything else, and only knew about the shorter range and problems with walls and such with the 5Ghz from reading which radio I should use. I would think that the 2.4Ghz radio you are using the the best one to use.
Hopefully one of the more Wi-Fi adept folks will have an idea for you. :)
What model wifi adapter are you using on the computer?
I am using a Panda PAU06. I've also tried a old Belkin adapter I had laying around but it did the same. I've made sure all my network drivers are updated including windows 10, I've also turned the router off and back on again in addition to restaring my computer with no success. I believe the problem at this point has to be either the router or my computer settings.

Thanks again.
