    Asus WiFi capped at 100mb?

    The S10 is a 2x2 antenna MIMO WiFi client. 50mbps is good for 2.4ghz on that client. 2.4ghz is plagued by limited bandwidth (typically 20mhz channels), 802.11n (ten year old standard, slower), and tons of interference. Strongly recommend you turn smart connect off and name your 2.4ghz and...

    speedtest result over wi-fi

    With a 2x2 AC client you should be able to easily get 300 mbps in line of sight with 5ghz and 80Mhz channels. I have a similar set up with beamforming and DD-WRT. I was able to max out my ISP internet connection easily over WiFi. If you are not getting that throughput it is either the...

    Need faster wireless than my Eero Pro system that can cover the whole house

    I bought 200ft of bulk cat 6A cable with the appropriate connectors / faceplates. I then hired an electrician to get a second pair of hands to help with fishing wires to the right locations. The cost of the cable and electrician labor was less than $200. I had good experience buying cables...

    New Connected Home Complex Wifi Setup - Asus - Synology - Ubiquiti

    Glad it helped! I’d keep one 5ghz network on the AX11000 unless you have a reason to have devices on a seperate SSID (guest network). That number of active devices is not too much load for your current AP/router hardware. You would have to do a similar amount of setup work with commercial...

    New Connected Home Complex Wifi Setup - Asus - Synology - Ubiquiti

    The easy way to do the above steps is probably to turn off the AC86’s and start off with just the AX11000 in a reletively central location. Create two SSIDs (one for each frequency). Test your setup with that simplified setup and find where your weak RSSI and throughput points are in your...

    New Connected Home Complex Wifi Setup - Asus - Synology - Ubiquiti

    I’d keep what you have. This should solve the majority of your issues: Step 1 - hardwire everything possible Step 2 - setup your 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz as seperate SSIDs. 2.4ghz is slow and perfect for the smart devices. 5ghz is fast and better for phones / tablets / media heavy devices. My...

    Measuring WiFi Performance

    I’m able to get mid 600Mbps on average on newer iOS devices. Low 700’s if I am within 3 feet of the AP. Check out this write up - https://www.duckware.com/tech/wifi-in-the-us.html#wifioveread - lots of details on WiFi overhead on section 3. Makes sense - the weak point is on the client...

    Upgrade or wait?

    Thanks for the feedback! L&LD- I have been looking at the ASUS products extensively. I agree the AC86 and AX88 are both impressive hardware. My house’s walls and bookshelves take their toll on the 5gHz band and I anticipate that I’ll still want two APs for my work and I hope that this...

    Upgrade or wait?

    Hi all. I have three Netgear R6250’s at home and looking for your opinions. I am running COX 300/30 internet and will soon be upgrading to 1,000/35 (I have a Netgear CM1000 modem). The reason for the upgrade is that I regularly upload HD and 4K videos (often two at a time or I am...
