ALFA R36 Router -> Settings for faster surfing
Here are some helpful tips to get even more out of the ALFA R36 router:
- Disable "b" mode
- Enable 40MHz
- Use WPA2 and AES
- Do not use the same or adjacent channels of the hotspot WiFi for the R36
- Do not place the external USB WiFi antenna too close to the R36 (you may need to slightly reduce the R36's transmission power)
Here are some screenshots showing where you can configure these settings:
This was for the R36's WiFi. For the connection to the hotspot, changing from WPA-TKIP to WPA2-AES almost doubled my speed.
However, the R36 typically uses whatever is offered to it. Only on devices that offer both WPA and WPA2 can this be changed while still maintaining functionality.
If the connection to the hotspot stops working entirely after making changes, you may have selected a setting that the hotspot does not support.
