RAX120 Slow Speeds Wired

My ISP service is 200 mbps DL . Currnelty with the RAX120 my speeds are around 90 DL. When I bypass the router and direct to the modem I am running 226 Mbps.  This happens to the firmware 122 and up.

Any ideas what I settings I need to set. When I used the Qos the speeds drop to less than 20.

Re: RAX120 Slow Speeds Wired

are you testing wired/wireless?

Have you checked the cable? it seems like you're dropping from a gigabit connection to a 100mbps connection. You can check this by logging in and going to advanced-----show statistics.

If its showing that port at 100m and not gigabit, then its time to check cables/modems/ports.

Re: RAX120 Slow Speeds Wired

Should the WAN status be at 100m

Re: RAX120 Slow Speeds Wired

There's no way to "set" the port speed. Its auto negotiated. so I'd be betting on the cable or port having issues. 

I'd start with checking those.
