I'm sure that this topic gets touched on a couple of times a month at this point, but I cannot find a working solution to this issue. I just moved to a new house and we upgraded to gigabit download speeds. The issue is that my network download speeds seem to max out around 450mb/s. It does not appear to be the modem (which does not have router functionality), as I have tested the ISP provided router which provides 900mb/s at a minimum on wifi and ethernet.
Things that I have tried:
- Factory Reset router
- Disabling QoS as well as resetting distribution, Traffic meter, and congestion control (this did briefly bring ethernet speeds to 900, before returning to 400s)
- Manually setting expected speeds
- Removing all other devices on the network
- Using ethernet (Cat-6)
- Switching Wifi Channels and checking for interfering networks
- Updated to most recent firmware
All of the above were tested at a time that internet congestion would be at a minimum.
Clearly, there is still a setting that I am missing since speeds to the router are at least 900, and the router should theoretically be capable of over 4Gb.
If anybody out there has a fundamental understanding of DumaOS and this router, I would greatly appreciate your insight.
Are you getting to spec speeds at the ISP modem or ONT with out the router connected?
What Firmware version is currently loaded? What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
What configurations are set under Advanced Settings/Advanced/Advanced Wireless?
I'm testing using the downloaded speed test.net app on my computer and phone located maybe 4 feet from the router. Getting the full speed straight from the modem, yes.
Firmware: XR1000V2 1.1.0.16_2.1.25
Modem: Spectrum DOCSIS 3.1 eMTA
I am using CAT6 cables and set the channels to the ones you recommended.
So far it's still in the 400 range. Please let me know if you have any other ideas!
Do you have Smart Connect enabled or disabled? Ensure the router is in an elevated position - not on a metal surface Ensure there aren't any electrical / wireless devices e.g headphones etc within close proximity ~3 feet if possible Set the antennae to this position _ | | _ Then see if that improves it. What is the device you're testing the WiFi speeds on also?
