Administrators Netduma Admin Posted August 11, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hi Lethaz - so you are only getting 25mbps? Don't worry, there is probably just a simple setting change we need to do to fix this. Could you answer these questions please: What speeds do you get when wired in? What device are you using to test the speeds? Which website are you testing speeds with - we recommend speedtest.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Admin Posted August 11, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 11, 2018 Could you disable Smart Connect in wireless settings and then connect your wireless devices to the 5G band. Try the test again and see if they’re back to your expected speeds. My guess is you’re currently connected to the 2.4GHz band which usually has a real world maximum of around 100mbps, which is why you want to make sure you’re on the 5GHz band.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 12, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 12, 2018 Use a WiFi analyser to find the least congested channel for 2.4GHz and change to that then try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG__DOG Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 have you made sure your wireless settings are set for the correct region and that the mode is set to 800mbps? These can be found in settings>>>>>wireless setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
