R8500 Slow Wifi v1.0.0.56_1.0.28
Trying to troubleshoot slow wifi speeds. Anyone experience trouble with the latest firmware update? Speedtest hardwired: Speedtest wireless [2.4Ghz & 5Ghz show about the same speed] (fro...
Indeed my router was replaced, however, this didn't solve the problem. A beta firmware ultimately resolved the problem.
Replaced my AC87u with the R8500 and I am quite pleased except with my upload speeds.
Mine are not a bad as the others in this thread but it is still a considerable drop over the Asus.
LAN Ping 1 +900 download +900 upload
WLAN Ping 3 +450 download -125 upload
On Asus my Upload and Download we pretty much equal.
Also I noticed my Asus AC68u WLAN bridges report a link speed of 877.5mbps whereas on Asus it was 1300mbps. The AC87u have a link speed of +1020 but the ping nearly doubles to 5.
Every device seems to Capped at ~125 upload on 5ghz
QOS is disabled.
agoetz5201 Do you have the latest firmware installed on the router?
If you do, I suggest that you contact support for further troubleshooting on the speed issue.
My speeds were pretty abismal when I was trying to use one ssid. I split everything out (one for 2.4G, two for 5G) and the speeds have been much better.
Thank you for that input ChrisRogers91
