I’m not sure this is under the proper category since its about multiple deveces, so please move it if necessary. I’m wondering how much my WIFI is bogged down using these products. I have 8 cameras, 10 plugs, thermostat, lock, and doorbell. The reason I’m asking is because my 2 laptops on the same…

Depends massively on what you are doing. Yes, the cameras are rather chatty, but most of it is fairly low bandwidth - EXCEPT when sending video. When the cameras are sending video to the Wyze servers, or to a phone that is watching one or more cameras it increases quite a bit. From your descripti…

Yea, generally on a decent wifi AP theres usually only about 50-20% drop in network speed compared to ethernet, so 240 to 24 seems pretty bad… Do you have a large house, is the speeds better closer to the AP? Also, it could be interference, how many other networks do you see when connecting, is th…

Here is something I wrote up a couple months ago: [image] How To calculate bandwidth consumed by cameras Cameras TLDR: See last two paragraphs. slight_smile Many of today’s IoT devices only use the 2.4 GHz band of 802.11n, so a single-band single-stream N router is all…

Lots of Good information. Thanks for all the replies. I’ll look for other issues.

500mbps, seriously? UP and down… are you a business or something? fiber straight from the pole to your place? because i find that hard to believe… remember you lose between 20-50% of wifi on 2.4ghz (numbers differ for 5&6ghz) 802.11a/b maxes out at 20mbps. in theory 802.11n is 600mbps compared to…

Why would he keep his laptop on the same 2.4 Ghz segment as the cameras? My home network is fairly basic but I still get over 100 Mbps up and down over 802.11n on 5 Ghz. With a .ac router and a higher Internet plan I doubt there’d be a problem hitting 500 Mbps. Anyway, each camera uses about 1 Mb…

[image] DeVoiDaNgEl: 500mbps, seriously? UP and down Yes - seriously. After years of waiting I did get fiber to the house last year. I really do get at least 950Mb/s up and down to my router. My primary desktop (through the router and a couple switches) normally gets 750 - 850 Mb/s. As fo…

Yup 100%. It is a few years old ( no where near 14 though) and I have checked and rechecked. It’s not in HP specs or the specs on the card itself… damn cheap HP.
