I've recently had issues with this router - bought it back in November 2016. Both 5 GHz bands now get less than 1 Mbps, but the 2.4 GHz band will get around 20-30 Mbps. I can restart the router and the 5 GHz bands will work for a few hours, then drop the speed again. I've tried multiple versions of the firmware with no luck. I also attempted to contact customer support, but since I was past the 90 day customer support, they told me I would have to purchase a premium support package, which is ridiculous since this router cost $260 in the first place.
What is the ISP mode Mfr and model#?
Any other wifi neighbors or electronics near by?
What channels are you using?
Try UpTo 300Mb on 5Ghz.
