R6400v2 Ethernet good wifi bad
I have always had this issue with my AC1750 but I'd love for it to work better like it should. I pay for 300mbs from ISP, and I know 300 comes out of the wall. There is little to no loss from wall ...
I've tested it with two laptops, my PC (Realtek 8822BE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC), an iphone 10, and my samgsung s21 ultra. No device has achieved over 150 mbps at best today. Results have averaged at 50 to 100 mbps.
I updated it to the most current available firmware but just installed an older version (V1.0.2.66_10.0.48) which yielded a very slight increase).
The router is connected to a CM1000. If I wire a device to the router (or the modem) I get the full speed, but WIFI is just nowhere near where it should be. I don't feel that wifi should drop from 300 that comes into the router to receiving 50 very close with an AC capable device. What am I missing?
Appreciate the reply!
Are you testing over 2.4ghz or 5gh?
2.4ghz is a slower network than 5ghz.
Have you don't a factory reset on the router lately? Make sure if you reset to leave qos, access control, traffic monitoring, and parental controls all disabled.
I've tested both, 5ghz is indeed faster but not by much, maybe 20-30mbps on average. I have tried several factory resets, and all those settings are off/disabled. I'm clueless as to what the problem is. I appreciate your help!
