Thanks for the prompt reply.
Hmm...well I suspect there are no work arounds with configuration changes etc..
Looks like I either live with it (without AC and lower bandwidth), or upgrade to a another router with greater capacity etc...

BTW...your comment about QaS enable was spot on as it had the same result on lower bandwidth as AC enabled.

Turning off AC and QaS got me back to 5-600Mps after a reboot of the modem...

Can you recommend a Netgear router which might accomodate that increased bandwidth with AC and Block new divices and QaS.

Thank again...

  You're wanting an AC device?
  
  Not an AX device?
  What are you using it for that you need access controls?
  
  You can also check on amazon for netgear renewed devices.

    I've a tenant using my ISP encrypted TSK account, 2.4 and 5G and I want to be able to control his access and that of others that attempt to use my IP in case somebody does something illegal (just the usual death threats etc. etc;) that might be traced back to my IP so I have a record of the MAC on their device etc...for proof.
    
    So what are the specs I should be looking for in a router upgrade to deal with this issue. If you can, an Amazon.com link would be most helpful:)
    
    Thanks again,

the R6400 is a rather anemic gigabit router and if you enable those services, it will slow it down.

It first appeared in 2015, when Gigabit Internet was a fairy tale.

The R6400 didn't even have the fastest wifi back then.

Is it still available on the new market?
