AC3000 Rbk50 speeds slow
Wired speeds 1k. Wireless speeds consistantly low-to-mid 400's. Rbr50 wired to verizon ont with Cat 6 cable. Speeds were in consistantly in the 750's-940's until a few weeks ago. I've run reset...
there's no way you were hitting 750-940mbps over wireless on that unit.
Its fronthaul is only 866mbps link connection. And actual throughput is roughly 55-65% of link speed.
In my experience, the 400mbps is about what you can maximum expect from that unit.
So I'm not sure what was giving you those speeds or how you were testing.
so you've showed up speeds tested using the netgear app.
the netgear app tests directly off the router. Its not testing wireless, it doesn't tested your wired speeds to a device, or what your devices actually get.
so details are key.
1. what firmware is on the router?
2. what gateway is it connected to?
3. what speeds do you get wired into the router? And what device is it you're testing on?
4. You've put that you get 400mbps over the wireless. thats fantastic for that device. good work. Lets work on your wired speeds.
