Netgear R6400 AC1750 connects poorly to Apple devices
Hello, I have a Netgear R6400 AC1750 with f/w V1.0.1.62_1.0.41.
I've installed Speed Test on all devices and find that Windows and Androind devices show download speeds of approx 30 Mbps while the Apple iOS devices (iPhones and Macbooks and iPads) show download speeds of only approx 2 - 3 Mbps. I have not been able to find a fix in the Community forums. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

It helps to think of things the right way round.
Your R6400 does not connect poorly to Apple devices. The Apple devices are supposed to connect to your R6400.

The router is not picking on your Apple stuff. It doesn't know what is trying to connect to the wifi.
Have you been through the usual "forget and rejoin" move. Tell you slow devices to forget that they ever encountered your router's wifi and then rejoin the network.

Did you find any similar reports on slow Apples? You won't find fixes to problems that have not been reported.
