Hi,
Do you guys have specific problems with the WiFi setup when with a 2.4GHz&5GHz dual band WiFi. If setup and connection goes smoontly when your 2.4GHz and 5GHz signal are merged together?
Please give us some feeback, appreciated.
In looking more at your unit, the primary reason is due to the battery. It uses dual band by default, but if all of your devices can use a specific band, you can disable one of the WiFi radios to save power.
If it is for the AP that the 5G modem/router creates, then it all depends on the settings available. Some netgear WiFi routers (I have not had a chance to use the M5 yet) will not allow you to set a separate SSID for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz band, in those cases, while ideally it is still good to have both bands and allow smart connect as well as client directed bandsteering to pick the band that it prefers. Beyond that, there are some edge cases where you may not want client devices to use a specific band. For example in a heavily congested area where the 2.4GHz band has no useful amount of available airtime, as in such a case, the 2.4GHz band may perform very slowly. In such a case, you may just enable only the 5GHz band and have everything on the 5GHz band.
If the modem has a battery for portable use, then they will also offer the option to only have 1 radio on in order to save power. For example, if it is on battery and all of your devices can use the 5GHz band, then it woudl likely be better to disable the 2.4GHz radio to save power.
Driver updates are dependent on the Chipset maker. Once they have confrimed a chipset is compatible with the newest version of an OS they will send it to our development team and we will release a new driver using our installer and any modifcations we may need to add. Also Driver support is dependent on if a product is still in development or not. After a product is EOL it only receives driver support for a short time. I also took the extra step to see if the chipset make has a newer windows 10 driver and this is what i found. The current driver they have is from September of 2018.
I did get confrimation that the T4U V2 is not likely to get future updates to the dirvers as the product is older and already end of life. However, our software team did confrim that the V3 drivers which are still getting updates will work on the V2 as well. You can find those drivers here: -link.com/us/download/Archer-T4U.html#Driver
Device Manager > network adapters > (right click your device) > properties > advanced. Scroll down to WiFi config, set the value to WiFi (mine was set to performance). One below should be wireless mode, I have that set to auto.
I had the same problem, and the TP manufacturer changed the device, but the same problem occurred.
Of course, the driver used both the TP official version and Windows default, and the result was the same.
The peculiar thing is that the wireless connector(AX1500) also became stuck as the connection of T4U was cut off when accessing a specific web site, but the exact cause could not be found at that time.
This problem disappeared automatically after upgrading Windows 10 build from v1909 to 20H2, and there was no additional interruption.
Currently, the T4U installation driver uses the Windows built-in type, and the TP driver is not installed separately.
I think it has to do with the wireless bandwidth channel width that T4U is using, and I think it has to do with setting the wireless channel width of the 5Ghz repeater to 40Mhz to reduce the interference of the Logitech wireless keyboard (2.4Ghz), but I was wrong.
Since I got it, it broadcasts 2 unique SSIDs. One for 2.4GHz band, and one with "-5G" appended for the 5GHz band. Most of my devices default to the 5G WiFi network. When our laptops are connected to that SSID (ie -5G one), I am unable to print. It cannot see the printer. I have to manually change to the 2.4GHz band SSID, then I can print.
I decided would rather have just one SSID for my network, for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. I set them both in the router to broadcast the same SSID, and let the devices connect to the one it has the best signal for.
So far, everything work, except for the printer. If our laptops happen to connect to the 5GHz band, it cannot print. No matter what I tried, I will not work. If I do nothing but disable the 5GHz band, so only the 2.4GHz is active, all pending print jobs will print.
I don't understand why this is, or how to fix it? If I connect all devices to the same SSID, its on the same "network" and I can see/access all other devices, regardless of what band they connected to via WiFi. Why doesn't the printer work the same way?
If I have 2 computers, one on 2.4GHz and one on 5GHz, I can still communicate with them, send files across the network, etc. So I am not seeing why a printer would be different. I guess I don't understand networking principals, but I would have expected if you are connected to the same wifi network, regardless of which band, you should still be able to print.
It seems I have gotten this to work. I set my router to broadcast the same SSID for both wifi bands. I then did a complete reset of the HP printer. I reset everything I could back to the factory defaults. I then connected it again using the web admin page to my Wifi network, and ever since, it has been working. I'm using the 5GHz band on my laptop right now, and I just printed. I also tried from the desktop, which too is currently using the 5GHz band, and it worked as well. I was able to print from my iPhone, but I can't find a way to confirm what band its currently using.
The only thing different is I removed the FiOS gateway extender. I had one of these in the basement to boost coverage, and the printer is in the basement, so I'm sure it was connecting through it. I didn't plug it back in yet, I plan to test that out later today. Assuming that "breaks", then I need to see what solutions are available for that to work properly when the extender is enabled.
I plugged in the extender again yesterday morning. Its been well over 36 hours since. It picks up its settings from the main router, so that should have been plenty of time for everything to sync up agian. So far, everything is working. I just printed again from my laptop, while the printer was still in power saving mode. It woke up and printed fine. So I guess the reset of all network and general settings did the trick.
I have printer model Office Jet 8710 and have had the same problem forever and it frustrated me that I could not print when connected to the 5G band from the my home network. I could still see the web admin interface of the printer, but not print. I thought it was crazy that the printer wouldn't allow jobs from another band even though they were on the same network.
Then suddenly it hit me that I could see the web admin interface because I was using an IP address. I had originally setup the printer by autodiscovery (WSD). When I instead added it as a TCP/IP printer, specifying the IP address of the printer within the Windows "add printer" function, it's now works and I can print regardless of which band of the network I'm on. Since it was added by IP, the router always routes the print requests correctly.
Experience better performance and greater flexibility for your laptop with dual-band connectivity. Either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency band can be selected with top speeds at 300Mbps and 867Mbps respectively.
The MU-MIMO feature allows you to receive data in its full capacity, making the most of your Wi-Fi bandwidth. When used with an access point that also has MU-MIMO capabilities, the EW-7822ULC can achieve its fastest speed without competition from other users.
What is fundamental difference in functionality between an AP with single radio but dual band and dual radio dual band? Why would someone invest in dual radio AP? Someone had told me that in single radio once someone connects at one frequency, it brings the AP in that frequency which doesn't make any sense to me.

*Maximum wireless signal rates are referenced from IEEE 802.11 theoretical specifications. Actual data throughput and coverage will vary depending on interference, network traffic, building materials and other conditions. For maximum performance of up to 1201Mbps, use with a 1201Mbps 802.11ax wireless adapter. For maximum performance of up to 867Mbps use with an 867Mbps 802.11ac wireless adapter. For maximum performance of up to 400Mbps, use with a 400Mbps 802.11n wireless adapter. Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) requires the use of multiple MU-MIMO enabled wireless adapters.
