Thanks Keith.

The problem is eero is allocating 2.4, channel 6 to the iMac - its slow!

I'm amazed that for a wifi6 device that the eero doesn't have the functionality that most other router have - the ability to choose frequencies and channels. Really disappointing actually.

Looking at Radio Analytics it does show channel 155 as you say. i've got 4 devices using 5 and 4 using 2.4.

Frustrated, I connected the iMac to an ethernet port.

Which channel in the 5GHz band is your Eero using? If you look in the Eero app & go to Radio Analytics it should give you the channel information there. The speeds you mention make me think that you might be using the 2.4GHz band. Some customers have recently experienced a problem where the 5GHz channel is locked on 155, which is not supported by a lot of WiFi adapters, hence they are forced to use the slower 2.4GHz band.

Hi Michelle - thanks for responding and apologies for not getting back to you.

Such functionality would be very very welcome.

At the moment the router is automatically allocating a channel and frequency to the iMac and my Tx rate is 130mbps. When with BT it was 247mbps (I used 5ghz band).

I appreciate that there are bottlenecks between what comes into the house and the device (e.g. network card) but one of the reasons I joined Talktalk was because of the wifi6 router - better coverage and potentially better speeds. Unfortunately a drop fro 247 to 130 has been painful!

Thanks again

Paul

Morning,

At present this is not possible, however I believe that this functionality may be coming. Are you experiencing an issues with your connection?

Michelle

[Gondola]

Your expectation is not possible.

The eero app does have Troubleshooting options on the Settings tab. Have you looked there? Is there a particular issue you wish to solve that's not covered in Troubleshooting?
