good lan speed horribe wifi
Hello everyone
I have 1gig service and on lan get 700 up and down, on 2.4 I get 70 up and down on everey device in the house and on 5 I get 175-250 down and 300-400 up. Ive disabled Qos, traffic meter, and pretty much anything that I could find gained maybe 40mbps overall. ive put 2.4 into 40mhz, changed the channels. its running the latest firmware (it came with it). is this a known issue with the newest firm? should I roll back? The modem is provided by my ISP, it’s a Zhone modem. any suggestions? thanks
- I purchased a Linksys ae 9300 and get 440-470 dL and 600 upload on the same phone with all things being equal.

For example, do they do lot better with different wifi sources?
Remember, wifi speeds depend on the clients as well as the router. The fastest router on the planet will do nothing for the speed of a client that is already working at its limits.

A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.Thanks for the reply. All drivers on computers updated.

ANSWER- they are iphone 8's which are capable of well over 212dl and 500 up also PS4 gets 45d and 17u
- my computer lan line to router gets 600-700 up and down. On wifi it gets 75on 2.4 and 175 on 5GHZ all wifi tests are done 10ft or less from router and bluetooth off
firmware-
Firmware Version V1.3.1.44_10.1.23 I most likely will be returning this. unless Im missing something. The guy at bestbuy tried to warn me. He said id have poor Wifi.
