gateway-pc wireless connection
Hi. A new user, and I was handed an ARC-KVD21. Have connected several devices easily, but the Windows 10 box won't do it. The gateway gets a "good" signal. Ethernet line works fine (on it now); wir...
When you enable the wireless do you have the Ethernet cable disconnected or connected?
Was the wireless working before with a prior wireless router?
If you look in “System Information” and the hardware what is the adapter model?
Check in Control Panel and make sure the hardware does not have any alert. Maybe the system logging will provide some clues. If you have a USB wireless adapter about you might try another wireless adapter. I guess the one you are working with came installed in the client/laptop/desktop unit?
Not bad. It must be in a USB 2.0 port. If the client has a USB port with a blue tongue vs white in the port that would be a USB 3.1 and would possibly provide better throughput. It will still come down to the adapter. It is an 802.11ac adapter so on 5Ghz with a USB 3.1 port it should do better. With USB 2.0 port and 2.4 Ghz the 144 MBs sounds about right. So, it will get the job done.
If the gateway only receives roughly 150-200 MBs down that will be working fine. The cellular link will probably be the lower common denominator in the equation.
Glad it put a smile on your face. Good deal.
