Wifi 300Mbps 2.4ghz

[OPC9]

Hi there,

I'm from Germany, sorry for my english.

My Surface connects to a maximum of 65mbit on the 2.4ghz channel.

If I disable Bluetooth, the value reverts to 130mbit.

On my laptop there is a setting in the wifi options
"802.11n Channel Width for band 2.4". If I make this value by 20 to "auto" I immediately instead of 130mbit 300Mbit.

Unfortunately, this setting is missing from my Surface. I found a tutorial pro 2 unlock the Surface this setting. Maybe you can take on the Surface Pro 3?

To lock Surface to 802.11 b / g band-you-can-use 'regedit'.

Open Desktop -> Search -> regedit

Open regedit. Select menu Edit -> Find ...

Enter "AutoUse40Mhz" -> do search.

There are 2 entries in registry search. We need to change one, located under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Class \" branch.

Set "AutoUse40Mhz" to "0" (It has value "1" by default)

Set "band" to "4" (It has value "6" by default)

Reboot and Surface want to connect using 802.11 b / g "band".

In the registry I can not find it.

Thanks

If you lock Surface to 802.11 b / g you will never achieve 300 mbps.

Basically, the issue that you have is a known issue and MS is still working in a fix. Be sure to have all Windows update installed.

okay thanks. This option I would need. With this setting my laptop wlan go from 130mbit to 300Mbit. 20mhz to auto.

The SP3 driver does not have that option. But you can force your Access Point to use only 40 MHZ if you want.

I would change the channel from auto to 1,6 or 11 depend on how crowded your very location to get better throughput.
