In the mean time, I would suggest anyone with this router and having the poor WiFi connection issue (the LAN works just fine) to contact WD and also request to speak with a higher level tech support person so that they can take all the complaints to their engineers and programmers to put the pressure on them to either fix the firmware and/or the hardware, or to provide a comparable replacement that will work “as advertised.Download Now AR9485WB-EG BLUETOOTH DRIVER I am working with a high-level tech support person to see what can be done to fix this.

So, clearly there is either a hardware or firmware issue (or both) with these routers. I too have the exact same issue described by Speed_In_Need, and as a test, I picked up a second new N900 AND, AS WITH THE FIRST ONE, NO DEVICE WILL CONNECT TO EITHER ROUTER (TESTED SEPARATELY) ANY FASTER THAN AT HALF THEIR RATED SPEED OF 300n, AND THESE ARE ALL DEVICES THAT USED TO CONNECT AT THEIR FULL RATED SPEEDS WITH A 6+ YEAR-OLD AIRLINK AR670W. There are many reasons one may want to change a router to a newer one, and your non sequitur comment shows a lack of both wisdom and understanding despite how you talk down to the community as though we’re all nitwits. Nissan-SR20-Man, your comment, “If you have a router that performs better, why are we still talking?” is both pejorative and asinine, and does not address the issue of the N900’s poor WiFi connectivity. Any suggestions to make this work would be highly appreciated. What can I change in the router to get the clients connect to it at max capable speeds? Again, this router is seriously lacking in any advanced options for tweeking. Mac mini connects at 320 Mbits or sometimes at 450 Mbps. I don’t see this problem with the 5 Ghz channel though. There are not any options to tweek either.Īlso a mac mini that I have connects to the 2.4 Ghz channel on this router at a very low speed rate than its rated 300 Mbps. I don’t see any options to modify wide/short band or know if this is mimo enabled. I think the chipset on N900 is better or I may be wrong. The same devices were able to connect at its max 150 Mbps on a Netgear JNR3210 which has got a Realtek chipset and provide a better throughput. Both these devices always connect only at 72.2 Mbps to N900. I tried it with a sony laptop and a tp-link usb adapter (both single stream wifi devices) which are both capable of 150 Mbps speeds. The problem is my clients connects to 2.4 Ghz wifi channel at the max of 72.2 Mbps. I have been having some problems with my new N900 router.
