C7000-100NAS not Performing At Speed
I needed to upgrade Spectrum service to their Ultra, 400mbps. After doing so, I could not get that with either my 5mHz nor through a 6e patch cord onto either a Dell Laptop nor my Pixel phone, I had...
1. There is definitely a different from 2.4ghz to 5ghz. 2.4ghz is much much slower and more suseptible to interference
2. What speeds do you get hardwired into the c7000? Its a bit pointless to try to get wireless faster than what its getting wired
3. What device you're testing on is important. A 1x1 antenna devices isn't going to have the same speeds as a 2x2.
Hardwired into the router with a cat7 patch cable my Dell Laptop gets around 50 mbps down and 20 up. Using my Pixel phone with data turned off, speedtest.net gives the same two values with some small variations.
If hardwired in you're only getting 50mbps/20mbps, then its either the provisioning, the line running to it, or the modem itself.
It'd be pointless to work on the wireless if the router's only getting those speeds hardwired.
do you have a screen snip of your cable connections page?
And the logs?
