I have to say this router is the worst router i have ever bought. I bought it new on the 3rd of January . And my network has NEVER Been so poor. i upgraded from my trusty TP-LINK TP-WR1043ND because i wanted faster speeds on my network instead i got nothing like and half the coverage of my old one My TP-LINK covered my entire house and even a little drifting on to the back patio so we could sit out with it.. After reading all the gumph about how good this was and great coverage it was the all singing all dancing Router I bought it instead of TP-LINK newer one but what a total waste of money the G10 won't even cover half the house and forget any of it leaking out onto the patio. Sorry but this has been the biggest waste of money i have spent i am a pensioner so what ever i bought i was stuck with it as i don't have the money to change it out. So it looks like i will be putting my old one back in boxing this up and hoping someone will buy it off me.... Appalling bit of kit..  ------------- GA-X58A-UD3R (Rev 2) M/B with i7 950 @ 3.07GHz 24.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 531MHz EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX W/BACKPLATE COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro1000 RS-A00-EMBA 1000W ATX12V G10 Router |

radicaldoc, if it's like the other AC wireless routers I have experience with I must ask a couple questions/make a couple observations seeings your TP-WR1043ND is a 300 N. 1. Keep your non-AC devices on one band and your AC capable ones on the other. The slowest device on each band will match it's particular transmit speed onto all other devices on that band. Not sure I explained that to come across ....... 2. After reading the Manual you do indeed have 2 power output adjustments in the Admin panel. One for the 2.4G band and one for the 5G band. Check that both are starting at 100% and then if you feel like it lower it until you have coverage only where needed. That will keep your "signal' from being broadcast all over the neighborhood. Keeping kiddies, phreaks, and freeloaders off your connection/network Admin panel > Wireless > Wireless-2.4G > TX Power Adjustment Admin panel > Wireless > Wireless-5G > TX Power Adjustment |

Allow me to take a second go at explaining that better  The slowest rated device on each band, that will be the speed that ALL devices on that band will RX and TX. There! Much better if I dare say so  |

If that was "No, it doesn't have TX Power Adjustment's, I can assure you it does. Do you know how to enter the routers Administration panel/applet?? |

I knew you could find it.  Pensioner my butt.  Now, hehe, are BOTH the 2.4G and 5G bands set to 100%? Again, see the top of THIS post for where each are found. Too, list out all your wireless devices, phone(s) included, that connect to the router if you would be so kind. |

yes they are both at 100% as for devices at the moment i am only using 2 mobile phones (oneplus one and homtom 7) and a samsung tab 3. on wireless. this may change in the future .. and wired 1. my PC and 2. A VU+ Solo 2 Linux box... that's it nothing else. As i said maybe if i can get it to work any better i will add more but not while it is like this. I have to add i have changed nothing except the passwords and the LAN ip address everything else is on default.. thanks My log if it is any use.....

" rel="nofollow - Ok, let's see here what we might be able to help with. The PC and VU+ Solo 2 are wired so we can discount them from wireless consideration here. Your wireless device Specs as I can discover are: OnePlus One - 2.4G 802.11 b, g, n Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 - 2.4G 802.11 a, b, g, n DOOGEE HOMTOM HT7 - 2.4G 802.11 b, g, n Knowing those specs, _and_ your saying there is no range/coverage in your home, I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess since you just bought a shiny new 5G capable wireless router, ASRock G10, that you've gone and assigned the above three wireless devices to the 5G band. Correct? |

sorry no i have the homtom 7 and samsung tab 3 on 2.g and the Oneplus one on 5g although i have read somewhere these will all operate on the 2.4g because the 2.4g will pull the rest down yes?? I have now put everything on 2.4g.. edited by wardog to correct quotation ------------- GA-X58A-UD3R (Rev 2) M/B with i7 950 @ 3.07GHz 24.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 531MHz EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX W/BACKPLATE COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro1000 RS-A00-EMBA 1000W ATX12V G10 Router |

Neither three of the wireless devices you list have 5Ghz capability. That I could discover anyways. But what is more important is the 5Ghz band, while faster than 2.4Ghz, also does not penetrate physical objects as walls too well. Knowing your previously installed TP Link was 2.4Ghz only and you had "great' RX and TX throughout the house yet with the G-10 you suffer is why I've asked you to place your current(!) Wi-Fi devices onto the 2.4Ghz band. Please, let them ride on the 2.4Ghz band for a day and reply back if you have better coverage and throughput there. |

I must have been looped last night, which I guarantee I was not, to have fallen dupe to not believing ANY OnePlus phone didn't have 802.11 AC/5Ghz. I must have been typing at the keyboard exhausted. Your OnePlus One does indeed enjoy 5Ghz.. Still, for here and now testing, let's leave it on the 2.4Ghz band for a day. Without my physical presence there in your home, I have to go by what you have spoken so far. I feel/think/believe that where your G-10 is currently placed, the poorly penetrating 5Ghz band is just a wall too far for it to offer any performance. Actually, I feel where your 5Ghz reception is "bad' in your house is too much obstruction and may be re-transmitting, further hobbling it at the far reaches of your home. Post back in a day with what you discover. |

well it has been a few days now with no significant increase in signal yes it is very marginally better but not a lot at all;; ------------- GA-X58A-UD3R (Rev 2) M/B with i7 950 @ 3.07GHz 24.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 531MHz EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX W/BACKPLATE COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro1000 RS-A00-EMBA 1000W ATX12V G10 Router |

I wasn't going to chime in here as my experience with routers and their firmware is very limited but it occurred to me that I may be able to shed some light on what is happening here. TPLink tend to be tuned for tolerance and ease of use. The most common issues I experience with them are poor latency, dropped packets and unreliability. Typically resetting the router a few times a day solves most of these issues, that and changing the channel to less used channels in your area to avoid signal contamination. ASRock's G10 is aimed at gamers, gamers worst enemy is latency, packet loss and corruption. It would stand to reason that the ASRock router would be tuned with much lower tolerance to dropped packets and data corruption as a result. These settings would by extension decrease signal range, significantly given how aggressively I suspect the firmware rejects weak connections. It also limits contamination to an extent by rejecting weaker signals off the bat. I can't offer any fixes as I am not familiar with the G10's firmware but this may be of some help locating the issue, if these tolerances can be altered it should increase range the more tolerance you allow. Basically higher tolerance = greater range at the cost of lower reliability Lower tolerance = decreased range but lower latency + greater reliability I hope this is of some help. I am no expert and could be wrong but this makes sense to me. -------------

thanks bud i will look into it and see if it can be tweeked... I have decided i am going to persevere with it i do genrally like it i am no expert but it does seem to be a nice bit of kit.... ------------- GA-X58A-UD3R (Rev 2) M/B with i7 950 @ 3.07GHz 24.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 531MHz EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX W/BACKPLATE COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro1000 RS-A00-EMBA 1000W ATX12V G10 Router |

We like in an old cortijo out in the middle of no where it's built of rock flint and mud for the main part signal has one thick wall to go through and a thin one

" rel="nofollow - Can i also add does anyone here have or use one of these routers?? as i have just started messing with the H2R Router you get with it works pretty well with EZCAST but my question is when i am using this and i have working fine you watch pretty much most things through i like films on my pad etc, and things like Filmon etc... but can i watch stuff from my key in the USB sockets through the media server built in as well it's a bit confusing for me although i did get everything working with each other.... just don't know if i can watch stuff on that through the H2R as well........ thanks guys ------------- GA-X58A-UD3R (Rev 2) M/B with i7 950 @ 3.07GHz 24.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 531MHz EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX W/BACKPLATE COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro1000 RS-A00-EMBA 1000W ATX12V G10 Router |
