EX7000 in AP mode - really slow LAN speeds (12-13 Mbps only)
I have a fairly simple home network using a Netgear R8500 router and a 300Mbps down / 20Mbps up internet connection. Across the house I have an ethernet cable that runs to my main TV and I've had it ...
Hi cdkeck
Welcome to the community!
Can you provide a diagram and how are things connected together with the IP addresses used?
Also, can you include screenshots of the speedtest when you're connected to the router?
Then another screenshot of the speedtest when connected wired through the EX7000.
Kindly capture as well the data link rates.
I have this same issue. My EX7000 is connected via ethernet to my R7000. I have a PC hard wired to the EX7000 and can get download speeds over 300 Mbps. I connect my phone to the wifi and I can't get over 30. I connect the same phone to my R7000 and I get almost 200. I tried going back one version with the firmware, but that did not help so I upgraded back to the current firmware. Nothing appears to get me the speed I should be getting from this hard wired AP.
I got it working now. All I did was uncheck the "Enable 20/40 Mhz Coexistence (2.4GHz)". Speeds up to 300 Mbps now :-)
