hi everyone today I'm gonna show you how
to get the maximum possible speed from
your net gear nighthawk router I'm gonna
use this Nighthawk xxs router as an
example but it actually works for all
net your routers basically you can use
my tips for other brands too all routers
have similar settings and features so
let's start with the wireless adapter
settings right click the network icon
select network and Internet settings
select Wi-Fi and click change adapter
options double click your Wi-Fi adapter
and here's our Wi-Fi connection speed
which is far below the claimed speed
let's check the 5 gigahertz band it's
better but we can get more click
properties configure and then appeared
window select Advanced tab make sure
that the wireless mode is set the door
band with all supported standards if
it's a desktop computer then set it to 5
gigahertz band only in NAC Wireless mode
select AC sub a channel width for both
bands to auto set the preferred band to
5 gigahertz and transmit power to the
highest and click OK
finally let's look into the router
sub-interface once your browser and go
to www.hawaii.edu and password or use
the default login credentials where the
username is admin and the password is
password and click OK
so now go to wireless and make sure that
the speed is set to its maximum value
and click apply click on Advanced tab go
to advanced setup and select wireless
settings if we're gonna use 2.4
gigahertz band I'd recommend this a
month 20 40 megahertz coexistence by
default this feature is enabled to avoid
interference between wireless networks
and it limits your speed from 300 to 144
megabits per second scroll down and
enable these two
options I'd also recommend you disable
router spin because it can be easily
hacked
click apply so finally let's check the
connection speed now we got 300 megabits
per second to add 2.4 gigahertz band and
eight hundred sixty six point seven
megabits per second at five gigahertz
band of course your devices must support
the speeds and some of them you can
easily upgrade a ham video which
explains how to great a laptops wireless
adapter for example this is Intel's
latest world's combat doctor ax 200 ngw
which supports speed up to 2.4 gigabits
per second and Bolton's 5.1 it costs
about 15 bucks delivered going in the
