R7000P 5GHz wifi speed going down after a few days
Hi!
I am having issues with my rather newly purchased R7000P router. I have both 2Ghz and 5Ghz wifi enabled. The problem is that at first everything works fine, but after a few days of working ...
So my router just stopped working. Red power light, neither simple or hard reset works. I am returning it and probably going with TP-Link next time.
Case closed.
Greetings,
Does the bandwidth flucuation occur across both wired and wireless interfaces, or just wireless?
Have you reset the device, set up from scratch and tested speeds?
Just reset, make no changes and test using defaults.
Settings you'll want to avoid:
QoS
Traffic Meter
Smart Connect - At least during troubleshooting.
Thank you for reply.
It only happens on wireless and only on 5Ghz band. I am now testing my router with all the settings reseted to factory defaults. Will see if that helps.
I had all those QoS and other stuff disabled.
Keep us posted.
Thanks
Did a first round of testing. Speed still drops. See image below (newset tests are on top). Will do a second round now to see if maybe one of my devices is triggering this problem. Will post after that.
