Understanding Dual Band Technology

The DWA-185 supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless bands:

• 2.4 GHz-båndet: Offers wider coverage and better penetration through walls, suitable for general internet browsing, email, and social media. Speeds up to 300 Mbps.
• 5 GHz-båndet: Provides faster speeds and less interference, ideal for high-bandwidth activities like HD video streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers. Speeds up to 867 Mbps.

For optimal performance, connect to the 5 GHz network if your router supports it and you are within close range. If you experience signal drops or weak signals, switch to the 2.4 GHz band.

Optimizing Antenna Position

The DWA-185 features a rotatable high-gain antenna. Adjust its position to achieve the best possible wireless signal strength and coverage. Experiment with different angles to find the optimal orientation for your environment, especially if you are experiencing dead spots.

• Oppdater adapterdriverne dine til den nyeste versjonen.
• Confirm that the adapter is plugged into a USB 3.0 port on your computer. USB 2.0 ports will limit the maximum data transfer rate.
• Juster antenneposisjonen for optimalt signalmottak.

Intermitterende tilkobling

• Adjust the antenna to find a more stable signal.
• Check for potential sources of interference (e.g., cordless phones, microwaves, Bluetooth devices) and move them away from the adapter or router.
