Hi,
on my R7000 in AP mode, I have my 5Ghz Wifi speed back !
20 Mbps before with WMM Wifi multi-Media : Disabled
500 Mbps after with WMM Wifi multi-Media : Enabled
Crazy ! Why ??? new Netgear firmware is messing something I think...
firmware : V1.0.11.126_10.2.112
But, it is solved for me with this option activated.
option into the Qos tab
jeugregg Thread jumping is against the t&C of the forum. but a quick note, disabling WMM limits the connection link to 54mbps. Its part of the WMM spec. So if you're wanting faster speeds, it needs to be enabled.
If you have futher issues/thoughts, please start your own thread instead of jumping in on someone else's.
Sorry to disturb the forum.
I do that to help people too !
if you thought I am sure that my answer can solve issue for a lot of people ! i have search a lot, and I have found this solution.
A lot of people don't know what it is WMM QoS and I long time ago, it was recommended to desactivate it (QoS for sure, WMM I am not sure)
THe first post do not memtion if the option is On or Off.
I really don't know or remember if I have modified the option WMM on my router... or if was modify after a firmware update, it is strange...
Sorry again.
They probably all updated to new firmware, if the firmware is causing this I'd suggest reverting to an older firmware and turning off the automatic update. When you change the firmware also do a hard reset by pressing the reset button for 30 seconds after you update it with new firmware. Let us know what happens.
