RAX10 5Ghz signal strength and speed drop after QoS and channel change
Router: Nighthawk RAX10 4-Stream AX1800 Wifi 6 Firmware: 1.0.10.110 OS: Ubuntu LTS Turned on QoS, with the speed test reporting 329mpbs down, 107.27up and changed the 5Ghz channel from 44 to 36...
Yes VLAN is enabled.
It's now confirmed that it's not the routers fault.
I started with a clean install of Ubuntu lts without any updates and everything went back to normal.
Signal strength shot up to excellent and link speed is at 433mbps always, speed test reports 130mbps download with 105mbps upload, and this is after I moved it back onto my desk where it is much further with more obstacles in the way than on the floor.
Thanks for your help!
are you using smart connect on router?
Have you checked to see if it didn't band steer to the 2.4gh?
Smart connect is off and network manager reports 5.2Ghz.
I'm going to call quits and just reset, hopefully it's just some setting that I won't touch this time.
