Hello everyone,
I am running a TP Link TL-WR1043N which (as TP Link says is a) 802.11n
router working on 2.4Ghz (no support for 5Ghz). I am running it with
flashed OpenWRT.
While using option to pick 40Mhz, I see my Mac only gets 20Mhz to use and
speed is always 130Mbps. There's no other SSID nearby and I am sitting next
to router for testing.
This brings me to question - Has anyone successfully used 40Mhz with 2.4Ghz
on 802.11n standard with Apple Macbook? I wonder if it's limitation on the
chipset or something else.
Thanks.
