Keep losing speed

Question

I have a AC2700 CAX30 wifi cable modem router from Costco and 1gb xfinity plan. When I factory reset I get 600-860mbps over wifi 5GHz. Within a couple of hours this drop to 115-225mbps and stays there, no matter what time of day or how many devices are using wifi.

All software is up to date.

Are you using smart connect?&nbsp;Smart connect allows devices to move between 2.4ghz and 5ghz as needed.&nbsp;And 2.4ghz is much slower than 5ghz

I am not using smart connect. Both my iPhone and my laptop are connected to 5GHz

when the speed drops, what do you get over a wired connection?

JudasGoat · Answer

Wired in I’m getting 500-800. Odd thing is my laptop statues fast shortly after going back to wifi.So hardwired in average about 700. IPhone 12 wireless 100-120
