RAX45 Slow Wired and WiFi Speeds
Hello, I tried posting this question a few minutes ago, but it came out as all one long paragraph which is awful. Here is my attempt at a redo. Hello, I recently bought the RAX45 Nighthawk route...
I initially tried to change all the settings to what you recommended. Given that the settings are in multiple menus, all I actulaly changed were
"Enable OFDMA" for both 2.4 and 5GHz. I now have the max speed I had before.
Do you happen to have a link to an imgur pic? I tried your link, but it says the photo is unavailable. I'm desperate to boost my speeds.
I tried the settings from his screenshots and they worked like he said! I am grateful for his help. I would like to share them with you since i saved them. Hope it works for you as it did for me. Cheers
I'll try one photo at a tme since it didnt let me do them all at once.
Thank you kind soul! I did try your settings, and I'm not seeing any difference in speeds unfortunately. Seems to be a little worst to be honest. I think I'm going to return this router, I just can't get it work properly. Is Netgear known for having issues with their routers? I switched from an Orbi to this one and I had problems with the Orbi as well.
This fix is GREAT! I have spent a lot of hours and justthis morning was on with support who, after an hour, determined everything was working fine and placed me on hold...I was still getting 60mb download when 480 was coming in to the router from the modem. While on hole she hung up. She was useless anyway! I nput all of the changes from this solution an I am back in business at 430 down and 23 up. Thanks

Thank you after a couple hours research I got to you who went clearly to the point. I have an Atlantic modem which have been internet connection 300-21 and Netgear only went up tp 150-20 with your configuration they both match in performance, congratulations
