ASUS RT-AC68U different speeds from different tests
Got the GT-AX6000 and configured it with latest Merlin (388.2_2). Big upgrade from AC68U (7 years ago), needed to. Seems to be running smooth. Getting 50Mbps at other end of house on tablet. -

What is the difference between repeater and AiMesh? -

Should I set up the AC68U as a mesh router? I've read you shouldn't mix AC and AX routers. -

Thank you for the input, that helps greatly. I purchased the GT-AX6000 and was able to get a great deal on it. -

Is there a ratio of router output to device capability? Something like router output 500Mbps/client 100Mbps, router output 1Gbps/client 200Mbps. Or is the client's ability to receive static? -

ASUS RT-AC68U different speeds from different tests
Thanks for the reply. That is my dilemma, should I upgrade router to AX or get extender (I have 2 story 3500 sq ft home). I could get AX router and extend it with the AC68U. All devices seem to be running fine but the tech (non-tech) guy in me says the router should be pushing near ISP... -

One last question. As I stated above, my Galaxy A8 tablet which is right next to router is running 5G @ 433Mbps according the router client report. But when I run speedtest.net on browser through it the result is 161Mbps. Why not ~400Mbps? Is that a function of the cpu in the tablet (probably)? -

Interestingly I checked the "clients" in the router and my Galaxy A8 tablet which is right next to router is running 5G @ 433Mbps. So I guess the throughput is there wirelessly but not wired? Thanks for your help. I guess I'll trust it's configured right since I am seeing some WiFi devices... -

Same PC but 579Mbps was achieved through browser on speedtest.net. The 200-300Mbps was using Windows app "Net Speed Meter". Seems like speetest.net is measuring ISP speed and "Net Speed Meter" is measuring NIC>router>ISP speed? Is there a better/best way to test throughput on devices? It... -

Ok yes, here are the settings: Jumbo Frame: disable NAT Acceleration: Auto CTF (Cut Through Forwarding) and FA (Flow Acceleration) accelerator are enabled. Spanning-Tree Protocol: Enable Are there other settings I should check to increase throughput? -

ASUS RT-AC68U different speeds from different tests
the 579Mps was speedtest.net which in my understanding is a browser using their cpu? Where do I enable hardware acceleration on the router? I don't use QoS or AiProtection so I should be getting better throughput? I do have Diversion and Skynet running, should I disable those? What settings... -

ASUS RT-AC68U different speeds from different tests
Ok great thanks. That's is what I found out in another forum but wanted to confirm. Do you know if the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro (AX6000) (2.0ghz processor) would perform better (500mbps)? Is there a way to tell which router can handle the throughput? Seems like router (RT-AC68U) is limiting... -

I purchased 500mbps plan (Spectrum) I am wire connected using PC When I run speedtest.net from browser it shows ~575mbps: When I run "Internet Speed" from Adaptive QoS (not using) it shows ~183mbps When I run spdMerlin it shows ~300mbps see attached Why are they different download speeds...
