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!
Download speeds are still below 10mbps while bandwidth is still at 320mbps down and 100 up.
What I did in order:
Unplugged the ethernet cable from the RAX10 to the fiber terminal
Resetted the terminal
Resetted the RAX10 via browser
Turned off the RAX10
After a few minutes, turned the RAX10 back on
Waited another few minutes then pressed the reset button
Connect and change these settings:
Enable OFDMA for both 2.4 and 5GHZ
Access control turned on and blocked all new devices
SSID broadcast for both turned off
Always use HTTPS
UPnP off
Enabled VLAN/Bridge group
Changed DNS to cloudflare
Signal strength is still dipping below good.
No neighbours are using 5Ghz within range.
For comparison, Steam was peaking at 16.2mBps and hovered around 15.5 yesterday morning, so this is more than 10 times slower.

I don't get what you mean by this statement.
What modem/gateway are you connecting to?
