Astro A50 Headset Extremely slow download speeds

Recently I purchased a pair of Astro A50s, and ever since then ive had MAJOR internet problems. To begin, I ran a speedtest with the headphones turned on, and my download was at 40mb/s. Whereas once I turned them off, the speeds skyrocketed to 250. I am aware it is a 5GHz headset, however I don't know how to solve the problem. 

 

To add, my Astro a50 stand sits literally 2cm away from my Orbi router - just a heads up.

I have provided images of my Orbi wireless settings via the routerlogin.net page. Hopefully this helps and I can make adjustments where necessary.

 

Thanks.

  • Hi,

     

    It looks like your Astro A50s is interfering with your Orbi 5Ghz band, so try changing channels to see if that works?

     

    CheerZ and good luck :)
