Wifi Bandwidth 20 Vs 40
Placido Teofilo
when I click auto set, it just hangs for half a minute and gives up.
The only way to resolve it is to hard reset the Soundbar every time I want to watch tv.
my router is a BT with two discs. I believe the tv is using 5Ghz and the speaker is switching to 2.4Ghz.
I am facing similar issues connecting Samsung Freestyle with Q70R soundbar over wifi. It worked perfectly for few days, I changed the location of both devices going away from Wi-Fi router, and started facing this. Trying to resolve it, will share my experience.
Given that routers (particularly those supplied by ISPs) are commonly being shipped as both 2.4GHz and 5GHz capable but defaulted to using the same SSID, it's surprising that Samsung have not done something about this over the last year since the original post. It feels like a relatively straight forward software update on dual-band capable devices (and the SmartThings app) would allow for an additional network settings option to select between (a) Both Bands - default, (b) Just the 2.4GHz band, or (c) Just the 5GHz band. This would allow the problem to be diagnosed and fixed from the devices themselves rather than palming it off as a router-issue (which have vastly differing steps to resolve this, and some 3rd party routers are even locked from changing these settings). In addition if the Auto-Fix option from the diagnostics was to attempt resolving this known issue of different bandwidths, then this would also have fixed the problem.
I have found the interfaces and range of settings on my Samsung devices to be quite good and the interoperability to be great, so am sure this is just an oversight - after all 5GHz Wifi has only been around since 1999 (though it only hit 68% saturation in 2015 according to the Wi-Fi Alliance/ABI Research report).
Edit: I had a similar issue on my S22 phone connecting to 2.4GHz only 3rd-Party devices (which the apps now work fine, but during setup they needed to be on the same band), and there appears to be no way to tell the phone to temporarily just use the 2.4GHz band... By changing to 2x distinct SSIDs this also solves that problem, but I now lose the automatic selection of 5GHz when available for better speeds.
I tried all of the recommended solutions. Ultimately, resetting my modem helped the soundbar communicate with the TV and problem was solved. I did not have to adjust the connection to a 2GHZ modem channel. The 5 GHZ seems to be working.
My Arlo Pro 2 cameras are slowing down the WiFi. I have tested this by unplugging from the router. When Arlo is unplugged my WiFi speeds go way up. But then When I plug Arlo back in the WiFi spends drop way down. What can be done about this?
After I got the Cable company/Internet to come out to my house on the fourth time. They rewired all of the cable, for the internet. The speeds where back up to 80-105 mbps. I have not had a problem since that time. It took a lot of fighting with the cable Company, they wanted to blame Arlo for the slow speeds.
Yes I tried to move the bass station away from the router, that did not help. I am measuring the speed drop with Speedtest.net. I'm not sure what you mean by apply to ever wifi client I have. I will run a speed test with the Arlo hub plugged into the router, I will get speeds of 8 - 22Mbps. I will then unplug the Arlo hub from the router and run the speed test, I will then gets speeds of 98-116Mbpd
Yes I have tried rebooting router, and rebooting the Arlo bass. I have tested everything. The internet speeds are fast when Arlo bass is not pulled into the router. I had my Internet provider come out and check the lines and they said those were all good.
Did you ever figure anything out for this? I just recently discovered the same problem. We had a storm and power went out reset everything back as it was (my base station is wired). I noticed over a few days there was a lag and just little things so I ran a speed test. I have Gig speed and would get 6-850(wifi6) on my iPhone and now i was getting 90-100. Same on MacBook. I thought it was my router system. Did the same thing. Pulled the plug. Speed went right back up. Thanks for any help.

I want to limit bandwidth for Guest WiFi network, lets say to 2 Mb up/down, per individual IP. The only way i managed to achieve this is by creating entire guest WiFi subnet IP's as clientless users, and then apply user traffic shaping to the rule. Is this the right and only way to archive this ?

Do as david suggested above and create a network traffic shaping rule (policy association >rules) and change the bandwidth type to shared. Lets call this rule throttle guests. Now create a firewall rule and make sure that match known users is unchecked and in traffic shaping policy use throttle guests as your policy. This will throttle the whole network without assigning any usernames etc.
Keep in mind though that if you have 100mb for your guest network available one user will be able to use all that bandwidth when downloading torrents etc. Use individual bandwidth type in traffic shaping rule if you want to throttle each user individually. But assigning individual bandwidth will limit each user to assigned bandwidth even if there is more bandwidth available.
Have you actually tried this, or you think that it SHOULD work that way ? I've tried all the variations, and as I've said, only the one with creating users actually works if you want to have 2 Mbit limit per IP.
Edit: Open a support case with sophos if you are not a home user. They need to fix this as I am sure there are many other users like myself that had that rule working previously just assume that it is working correctly now.
Don't know if this was working before, but it seems it's by design ... so there is a way to get this working, but having one /22 subnet defined as clientless users, is just not that nice way to achieve something that should be achieved more easily ... someone else have similar experience maybe ?

1. In the Traffic Shaping Policy, Choose the buttons: Rules, Limit, and Individual. If you want limit 2mbps total for both up and down combined, choose Disable (default). If you want to allow separate limits of 2mb up and 2mb down, choose Enable. Now, Choose a Priority. Set the limit to 2000. Assign a name to Traffic Policy, and click Save. That Traffic Shaping Policy name will now show up as an option in all Firewall Rules.
2. In the Firewall Rule you use, you must make sure that Match Known Users is not selected in the Identity section of the Firewall Rule you are using. Create another firewall policy on the same Guest Wi-Fi zones if you don't have a Firewall Rule in which you can turn off Match Known Users. You may need to drag-and-drop this rule to prioritize it before or after your other Guest Wi-Fi rules.
Hi guys, I know this is an old post but it is very close to what I am trying to achieve. I am trying to limit guest wifi users to a hard data cap. A lot of the above information is relevant to my scenario, except rather than shape traffic I am trying to impose a data limit, say 500mb per user. Or say limit bandwidth usage to 1kbps up and down upon reaching 500mb. Cany chnace someone could point me in the right direction to achieve this?
Can someone confirm if Roku is capping bandwidth? I have 6 Roku's connected (2 ethernet / 4 wifi) and I was always able to hit around 200 mbps ethernet and up to 120 mbps wifi now all of a sudden at best I only get 50 mbps max on all of my roku devices. Is it the Roku test site that's not testing accurately or are they actually limiting bandwidth? I have Xfinity's 1200 meg package and my desktop that's hardwired reaches those speeds anytime throughout the day, my PS5 speeds are in the 800's and my mobile devices hit in the 400-500's. Everything connected to my network is always stable except for my Roku devices.
Roku devices with an Ethernet jack are Fast Ethernet. This is 100 Mbps, with real world speeds around 92 Mbps. The WiFi radios/chips they use are not particularly high speed either. The highest WiFi speed I've recorded on any of my Roku devices is my Ultra 4800, which I've seen reach about 210 Mbps. You were never seeing 200 Mbps on a wired connection. If that was the reported number, it was inaccurate.
But you need to remember what Roku has designed these devices for: streaming from an Internet source. At the present time, there's no online provider that streams at more than 25 Mbps, so there's no demand for higher speeds. Yes, those of us that stream from local media servers would like higher speeds for our UHD rips. But I've also tested my 4800 using the USB port, so no network bottleneck. Even the most powerful processor in the 4800 can't process video bitrates above about 160 Mbps. Even that speed I saw some video stuttering, so not a smooth playback. For this use, a Roku simply isn't the best device. But for any currently available online source, their network connections are more than adequate.
