It’d be good if a few of us could do this simple test.
- Set the correct country code for both radios so that you’re using the legal power limits
- Install an app like WiFiAnalyzer or WiFiman on your phone
- Go outside and walk away from your home a little
- Check if 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz has the stronger signal
For me 5 GHz always has the stronger signal, which shouldn’t really be the case since 2.4 GHz is supposed to easily pass through walls and other obstacles.
So is it a firmware issue or a hardware design issue? Hopefully it’s not the latter and things can be improved without certification being an issue.
