Nighthawk mesh slow speed
I have installed a new nighthawk WiFi 6 mesh router with 1 satellite. I am getting great speed on speed test from the fiber, but the WiFi speeds SUCK. when I look at the network map, everything seems ...
Having the same problem... With my old router I was getting consistent speeds over 900mbps when wired and around 4-500mbps when on wifi. Even with my wifi6 compatible computer i get 20mbps for wifi and am lucky to get 150mbps connected with ethernet. debating on returning it as well if this cant be sorted. My phones wifi gets better speeds than my computers hard wire.
Customer Support,
I am having the same issue as others. When I connect directly to modem/wifi router provided by my ISP then speed is over 300MBPS downloads/uploads. As soon I connect Mesh router with cat 5.e ethernet cable the speed drops to 93MBPS. Though speed test using Nighthawk App in my phone, it shows expected speed of 300MBPS but none of my devices, computer, phone, security camera, etc. are getting close to 300mbps speed. BTW, the firmware is updated recently to v1.1.6.122
