Super slow wireless speeds - AX120....

My streaming has been off lately and I finally ran a few speedtests both hardwired to my ISP router and to my Nighthawk AX12... hardwired is @ 450MB down/25 up... wireless is @75MB down/20 up...   ...

Hi Christian,

 

Sorry - I forgot to include that...

 

v1.0.0.84

 

I thought I was going to get it updated until the x.86 upgrade was pulled. I dont know if my router did something as a pre-update routine that stalled when the new firmware was pulled or what happend. I was getting a full 400MB - 445MB connection wirelessly...now I cant even break 100MB.

 

thanks

Hi kermitWyo, 

 

Thanks for confirming. Could you provide more details on the device you're using to test your wireless speeds and if you've used other devices to run a speed test? Also have you tried disabling QoS to see if that helps?

    Hi Christian,

    I ran two different tests ...

    1). a hardwired test from my AppleTV using the SpeedTest.net app. I got over 400M connection results to three different servers in my region.

    2). A wireless test through the Nighthawk using an Apple Airbook connected to my wireless 5G network. I got a 75-80M connection.

    I verified that test with an iPad running Dslreports on Safari browser.

    I think QoS is turned off on the router.

    Thanks
