R7000 Wi-Fi speed dropped off 300%
I have the luxury of a fiber optic connection which gives me almost 1000 Mbps up and down hard-wired and which WAS giving me around 400 Mbps up/down wireless as well, but now it's down to around 100M...
I appreciate the question, but already solved my problem. Didn't realize that I was, by default, logging into the slower 2.4 network and it has a 5.0 as well.
Yes to rebooting the router (hard restart) and modem, no change. I don't know how to determine if it has the latest security setting, although I also installed the lastest firmware as part of my troubleshooting. And how do I measure signal level from the router? I'm an expert computer user - but not a techie, so baby terms would be appreciated! :-)
Hi crisismanager,
What is the firmware version of the router?
Is it on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz?
What is the link rate of your devices?
