R6400 v2 speeds
I have the R6400 v2 router and the SB8200 modem on 500Mpbs internet. My speeds are terrible wired and wireless. Using my iphone on the 5ghz band i can get around 300 down. Wired on the PS5 or my smar...
This morning before i left for work i reflashed the router to 1.0.2.52. I was on the current latest firmware. But i have not reset the router after the firmware. If you glanced at the link for my network diagram, my son has his laptop wired and he did get 500 down. Other things like the PS5 and smartTV couldnt get anything faster than 60 down.
Sorry, learned long ago not to click random links :)
If the laptop is hitting 500mbps, then I'd be trusting of that. Most tv's aren't equiped with gigabit connections since streaming 4k only takes 25-40mbps. Its the rare tv that has a gig connection as its not needed. So it might just be an issue with the ps5.
I don't have a ps5 to play with to see if there's different ways of testing them such as different servers, etc. But I'd pull up your wan/lan port statistics on the router and see what speed they're connected at.

Another thing is if you do a factory reset, make sure to leave qos, access control, traffic monitoring, and parental controls all disabled.
Again, the r6400 is a base model device and when those are enabled, it puts a burden on the cpu that cuts speeds into the 200 (ish)mbps range.
