R7000 suddenly slow wifi
Model : R7000 Firmware now : V1.0.7.10_1.2.3 I've 3 r7000 routers. Until now they all worked fine. But now suddenly i have slower wifi 5Ghz speeds. I've a 100Mbps isp network at home. When i ...
A couple questions.
1. what modem are you using? You put that you ran the 5ghz speedtest through your ISPs modem and got full speed.
2. are the R7000's running in AP mode or router mode? its a bad idea to have multiple device running in router mode on one network.

3. the most stable agreed upon version of the firmware for the R7000 is the 1.0.9.42 version. Put that version on the R7000 over a hardwired connection, factory reset them, and then re-install them.
4. How big is your home? (sq ft) Running 4x devices is quite excessive unless your house is massive.
5. materials for your home?
6. Are the R7000's using the same ssid?
7. Are the R7000's hardwired in?
8. are they all running the same wifi channel for each band or seperated? Its recommended to seperate them out
9. What device are you testing with? make sure to try multiple devices.
Basically a better description of what your layout is, how you have it setup, your testing procedure can all help us understand your network and whats all going on.

All off them are setup as accesspoint
3. the most stable agreed upon version of the firmware for the R7000 is the 1.0.9.42 version. Put that version on the R7000 over a hardwired connection, factory reset them, and then re-install them. Going to try that one out now
4. How big is your home? (sq ft) Running 4x devices is quite excessive unless your house is massive. Don't know exact size but believe me it is necessary to have enough coverage
5. materials for your home? Bricks
6. Are the R7000's using the same ssid? Yes for all of them the same ssid
7. Are the R7000's hardwired in? all hard wired
8. are they all running the same wifi channel for each band or seperated? Its recommended to seperate them out All on different channel
9. What device are you testing with? make sure to try multiple devices. My galaxy note 10 plus , a galaxy s8 and a galaxy tablet s5e
Now to test the previous firmwares out i used the default ssid and password so i'm sure i'm testing on the good router

Sadly enough firmware 1.0.9.42 didn't solve my problem. Still slow wifi speeds. :smileyfrustrated:
