RAX120 Slow Speed
I have RAX120 with gigabit internet. Previously I was getting up to 700MB speed over WIFI with the router. Not sure what changed, but I am not getting 20MB. Hardwired I am at 800MB. The only change...
I have the same router with 1 gig down and 40 up. I noticed that if WMM is enabled in QoS my wired speads slow to about 250 mg but my wireless is like 750 mg on 5g. If you disable WMM for both channels my speed wired goes up to about 932 mg and wireless goes to 17 mg. I have worked with support for about 4 hours and swapped routers still same problem IMO I think there is a Firmware issue. Until they can resolve this with a fix i would suggest playing with the above setting...
- Unfortunately disabling WMM on practically any router would reduce wireless to effectively G standards ie 54 Mbps link rate so something like 30-40 or so Mbps in real world throughput. Is this affecting only WAN(Internet) or LAN file transfer tests as well?
Looks like a firmware issue, I personally haven’t run into this fortunately in my testing in LAN tests. I can’t do a WAN side test as I only get 300 Mbps from my ISP.I had the same issue. Try changing the 5ghz band channel to something like 100 and disable QOS. Keep AX on though
