AC750 WiFi Range Extender Essentials Edition experiencing a dropping in speed/performance over time
After using this wifi extender with my ASUS RT-AC3100 router I was happy with the performace of the connection which was 10mbps download speed on my computer. I use this product as a wifi extender an...
Found the problem, In my router settings I saw that my speed was limited to 2mbps changed it back to what it was, it must've been my brother trying to keep his high speeds
1. 50mbps
2. No objects of any kind have moved or have been in the way. After testing the extender in my room, where my computer is experiencing 200kbps, my phone using my router got around 3.5mbps and when I used the extender my results were exactly the same. I tried the wifi in the same room as the router and my phone got 4mbps and again my extender got the exact same results when it was present in the same room as the router.
3. V1.0.0.78_1.0.51
4. When I was using my brother's computer it was connected directly to the router via ethernet and I made sure to have all of the devices that could be on stay on however it did not effect the speed. I tested a laptop in the same room as the router with the same conditions and got to 30mbps but it goes to 10 or so when I start moving away.
All of this testing has been done on speedtest.net and speed.com (Using the 2.4 band). Using 5ghz connection, the tests for all devices except my computer got midly better results
try factory resetting the extender. set it up in the same room as the router (for testing) and see how it performs over hardwired, 2.4ghz, and 5ghz.
its an easy way to determine if its a distance/interference issue
My laptop doesnt have ethernet :(
I have just found something very wierd. My download speed using my laptop connecting to my wifi extender's 2.4ghz band got 12mbps in the room where my computer's download speed is 200kbps!!! I think that there is something very wrong with either my ethernet port or computer since this shouldn't be happening
again, I'd try borrowing or using a different device to do the testing. you're last post that gets the appropriate speeds with a different device seems to indicate that.
Ok, so I found my old laptop that has an Ethernet port and go 50mbps with the wifi extender connected in the same room as my computer so I can confirm that it is my computer that is somehow limiting this ludicrous speed.
