Nighthawk R7400 Wifi extremely slow
Hi all, first time poster, long time lurker. I'm experiencing a massive gap between my wired and wireless internet speeds. I don't expect to reach my ISP's max speed (thanks Spectrum) nor do I expect...
A couple of settings to focus on.
Disable smart connect and set separate SSID’s for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Smart connect interacts not only with your devices but those of your neighbors. Historically I have found that enabling 20/40 coexistence to do more harm than good. Depends on the inventory and age of iOT devices you are working with. The same for auto channel selection. It interacts with all the devices, yours, and your neighbors. Your router is working hard to keep up with smart connect and auto channel selection. Turn them off to let the router focus on data throughput.
If Spectrum in your area supports IPv6, enable it in your router.
Good post!
