Slow Wifi After Move House
I've recently moved house, and have plugged in the exact same modem and router, my X6 R8000. However, despite my modem and router getting great speeds, e.g. 50mbps down, I can't get more than 7mbps d...
Update:
I played around with a bunch of settings in my router, and disabling Dynamic QoS was what fixed my speed problem. I now have full speed to all my wifi devices (50mbps down and 18 up).
Is there a reason I should want Dynamic QoS on, or a way to set some devices as always having full speed if it is on?

You've moved the kit. The Internet service is different.
Reset both modem and router and set them up again from scratch.

"my modem" is not a very detailed description of anything. ("m" =
"milli" = 1/1000. "M" = "mega" = 1000000.)
These "great speeds" are for a wired device?

Using what? On which radio band?

That's about as helpful as "my modem".

In a different environment, the neighbors might cause (different)
radio interference. Changing channels might help.

Same modem and router. How "different" do you think that the service
could be? And this would affect the Wi-Fi speed how, exactly?

And, to get the full benefit, be sure to sacrifice a goat. Some
"experts" favor a chicken, but a goat is best.
Note: It is conceivable that after a settings reset, the router
_might_ choose a different radio channel on its own, based on its new
environment, so that move might not be a complete waste of time and
effort. Close, though. What resetting the modem might do remains a
mystery.
