Dreamlink W3 1200Mbps high Gain External Wi-Fi antenna
- Thread starter Capt.Kangaroo
- Start date
No, T2 and Z7+ only.
Dreamlink is working on a better wifi option for other models though
Problem with the W3 here. Will not get anything more than 2.4. Tested it on T2 and Formuler z7+ and it only sees 2.4. My router is both 2.4 and 5g and I have other devices hooked up at 5G. Tested it on a windows computer and it works in 5G. Is there something that can be set on the box?
Hello Captian
I was referred to you by some.posts that I read. I would love some.insight ...
I purchased a dreamlink t2 w3 in April it s worked great up until now. I did absolutely nothing to my wifi router. etc. when I boot up it keeps giving me no internet. I go to wifi and my connection reg speed and 5 ghz both have full bars when I select either it sayes connecting but connection failed and ask me for the password even though they are saved connection , even if I put my password still nothing.
I've done a factory and software reboot bit nothing. I find it funny that my date is pure random as well not sure if that's a sign.
I also tried a wired connection and it works fine.
The wifi router is literally right above me not more the 15 feet. all wood no metal to interfer. My speed in my basement is is 134 and 23.3.
I feel like my antenna or box is faulty.
I appreciate your time
Thx

Indeed, I was having issues way back in the bedroom with the wifi dropping out, but this fixed them...
HI, I just bought the dreamlink t2 with built in wifi. I have a gigabit fiber connection and on speed test the DL 2 does (~70mbps wifi; ~90mbps wired). I am trying to see if I can get better thruput out of the box to avoid buffering; with this antenna, have you done speedtest and if so what is your observation. Thanks.
Most often you will not get the Bandwidth you think during Prime internet usage periods.
You need to have a guaranteed minimum specified in you ISP Contract, otherwise you may get Throttled down below the required BW for IPTV streaming.
Do a DSL speed test during prime time (4pm to 11pm)
If you get 65, what more do you need???

I get occasional buffering ( and sometimes complete). I am considering upgrading my antenna on my T2 to this dual band one. My present wifi , d/l speed is 25mbps (which is just fine) while my d/l speed on computer (hard wired) is about 72mbps. How much better could I expect the wifi d/l speed to be if changing to this antenna ? Other than changing channels on modem wifi settings and changing the antenna is there anything else I can do to resolve this pesky buffering problem . Thanks
if you wanna see big changes in d/l speeds then see the coded link below. But it will not make a difference after so much anyway, maybe 25 or something mentioned I seen before.
It should not take this to solve a problem as buffering thou.
