steamblop Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hi, I have tried changing channels and everything but I only get around 15 mbps on 2.4 Wifi. Sometimes dips down to 6mbps. I have Comcast 1 gig download speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 11, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2019 Are you using smart connect? What speeds do you get through 5GHz and ethernet? Have you setup QoS correctly for your speeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamblop Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yes I have Qos correctly setup. 70/70. I don’t use smart connect. I have them both seperated. I get around 300-600mbps on 5ghz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 11, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2019 Disable QoS completely in Anti-Bufferbloat options, is it higher then? When you were trying different channels did you use a WiFi app to find the least congested channels? Are you using MU-MIMO & HT160 from advanced WiFi settings?

steamblop Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Yes, I used a Wifi app to find the least congested. I am using MU-MIMO and HT160. I turned off QOS and it brought the speed up from 16 to 54 is there anyway to use qos and still have speed.

steamblop Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 I turned QOS back on and the speed is now a constant 54. It seems to work now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steamblop Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Wifi started to act up again so I set it to auto channel. The 2.4 internet will work for a bit then start to become unstable and not connect to anything even when being right next to the router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Are you using Smart Connect or a separate 2.4GHz channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamblop Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Seperate channels. I believe it has to do with the dns. On my Nintendo switch and Xbox both have errors saying cannot resolve dns and I have to restart the router each time I turn on both systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my Nintendo switch and Xbox both have errors saying cannot resolve dns and I have to restart the router each time I turn on both systems Have you changed the default DNS to something else at all? Do you notice any slow downs over ethernet at all? Do you have any wireless devices (could be anything like wireless headphones for example) that are within 3 feet of the router? If so move these away as it could be interfering with the signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamblop Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I fixed the dns issue. I don’t have anything interfering with the signal. It could be a channel issue. The max speed right now is 9mbps down and 27 up. Ethernet is fine, it hits up to 1gig. Only the 2.4 signal is having issues even being right next to the router.

Netduma Alex Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 That's strange. Could you try using a Wifi Analyzer app to see which channels are congested near you? The router should be able to figure that out by itself but perhaps a little manual intervention wouldn't hurt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamblop Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Yes, I have used an app and selected channel 6. The Wifi now goes up to 30 then instantly drops to 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamblop Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Today I got a extender. The 2.4 on the extender is faster then the actual router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 It seems kind of like there's a dead zone around the router where the speed drops. Have you tried disabling 20/40MHz coexistence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
