R9000 an AC wireless speed
Hello,
how much Mb/s do you achive by AC wireless connection on R9000?
I'm only reaching max 35 Mb/s (120/10 Mb/s from my ISP) on two different laptops in few locations in my home when I connet to AC by 5GHz also when I'm located 2-3 meters from X10 R9000 router.
What is your results? Could you shere your results?
I FOUND SOLUTION (OR RATHER HINT) FOR WIFI PERFORMANCE PROBLEM!!!
Normally I had max 30Mb/s download. I made backup for router settings on local computer. After that I made factory reset defaults. After router reboot I loaded backup from file. And now I have 99,9% nominal speed from my ISP!
And let someone say that Netgear router R900 is a premium/polished product! Unfortunately not. I decided to resign from R9000 and now I complain this router in shop I started procedure to return R9000 to shop and I want to give my money back! It's a waste of time and nerves

which wifi chips are your laptops using? are they up to the task? Best you can get is about 70-75% of the supported speeds of the wifi in your laptops
Relatively new laptop with chipset Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (2 x 2) WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 combo (non-vPro).
On gaming PC the same situation (better one WiFi card) :-( I do not live in a bunker and R9000 commnicated as "pro gaming" has WiFi like my old D6200 Netgear in feeling....
Have you updated the laptops wireless drivers?
