That said, I'm kinda confused on WTF you're talking about with your setup. What's your "Slow ATT one?" Do you have 2 ISPs?
Also, if your golf simulator is having issue with your Spectrum's 2.4Ghz band, then a different router's 2.4Ghz band likely isn't going to change anything much. Is your golf simulator incapable of connecting to 5Ghz band? Do you have the option of running an ethernet cable to it?
If all you're wanting is a router capable of 2.4, then you can find a bunch of new ones for well under $50. You don't need to pay $100 for a 2.4Ghz router. |
You cannot give each separate names. Spectrum has even indicated this to me three different times and its a somewhat common issue with customers having issues wirh 2.4ghz only devices. You can log onto the router and I have but I can only change the name of the wifi and password.
I do have two ISPs right now. Im going to eventually cancel ATT and go to Spectrum due to value, speed and latency. The ATT is only 25mbps while I can get 400 mbps and much better latency using Spectrum.
My golf simulator cannot connect to 5.0 ghz. I cannot connect it via ethernet. I have been able to get it to connect to other 2.4ghz networks no problem but the Spectrum wifi doesn't even show up on the Golf Simulator. It shows up on every single device I have.
I mentioned used because I want to get a good one and a used one of higher value. Since I also play online poker reliability and latency are important.
