Featuring the very latest standard of WiFi 7, the Freebox offers impressive speeds, even with its wireless connection. On the other hand, Free's reputation for having to be a tech savvy person to make everything work properly is not usurped here.
First of all, be aware that the Free Ultra has a major design concern regarding its WiFi connection and its USB 3 port. By connecting a USB device to it, there is a high chance ofblock any possible connection, or make it particularly unstable.
The other point which interests us even more today is the impossibility of connecting devices requiring a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection to the Freebox Ultra. Thus, owners of robot vacuum cleaners and devices using only this type of frequency are in a bind.
A problem that we have had until now, before to find a solution to completely remedy it, and Presse-citron explains how to here.
How to solve WiFi problems with the Freebox Ultra ?
