FingerTester

I have an ONT (Nokia ONT XS-010X-Q) with fiber that's in bridge mode so the router is handling everything. Ethernet I get extremely close to the full gig on DSLreports, google speed test, and on the router test itself, etc.

Since I got it. Its on the latest firmware now though.

Does anyone else's R3 just have extremely poor range and speed? With my laptop nearly touching the router and after messing with the settings for hours the max speed I've been able to achieve on a 1GB up down fiber connection is 300mbs. This is after messing with every channel, 5ghz, 2.5ghz, splitting the bands, disabling ipv6, smart boost fully disabled, etc. I've kind of been holding off on posting this since I figured an update might fix it but man..... it's getting old.... I'm to the point of just using my old XR500 because the wifi range is at least 3X and actually can hit nearly full gig speed.

Okay thanks, I'll come back to you
