I was getting very bad Wi-Fi speeds with my Mikrotik 951G-2HnD routerboard.

Here are the few steps I executed and got really better performance while connecting through Wi-Fi to the internet.

Choose the least used channel frequency

I have Android based phone, where I was able to install WiFi Analyzer, which helped me decide which is the least used frequency channel around me.

The channel could be changed by the Mikrotik WEB GUI from here:

Web Gui –> Wireless –> wlan1 –> Frequency

Choose channel width

In my setup I’m using channel width: “20/40MHz HT Above” , and it could be set up from here:

Web Gui –> Wireless –> wlan1 –> Channel Width

The most significant improvement in router wi-fi operation was from changing this option.

You can change it from here:

Web Gui –> Wireless –> wlan1 –> [Switch to advanced mode] –> Distance == “indoors”

I set this up from here :

Web Gui –> Wireless –> wlan1 –> [Switch to advanced mode] :

Tx Power Mode == all rates fixed

Tx Power == 17db

Web Gui –> Wireless –> wlan1 –> [Switch to advanced mode] :

HT AMSDU Limit == 2048
