Fast LAN/Slow Wifi on XR450
Hello, I have a XR450 wifi router connecting to the Arris modem provided by Spectrum. I checked and compare the speed on various sites. When I test my computer by hooking up wired LAN, the speed is ...
I finally found out the reason!
I didn't setup 2Ghz and 5Ghz radio frequency separately. Now when I connect to the 5Ghz one, I got over 200Mbps. With the 2Ghz, it is only 50Mbps at best. Didn't think that it is not automatically switch radio.
Thank you for all your helps.
We don't have any specific ones that we recommend, as long as they can support the speeds from your ISP then it should be fine. Other users here may have some suggestions.

Sounds like your device likes to connect to 2.4Ghz rather then 5Ghz when Smart Connect is enabled.
Glad you got it working. Thanks for letting us know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:

It's weird that all devices connect to 2.4Ghz rather than 5Ghz although they are 5Ghz capable.
Whatever, it was a experience and a way for people who are struggle, troubleshoot their router.
Thank you for your support.
Enjoy.
