    WAN capped at 100mb help please! asus 87u

    In my opinion, yes. You have to understand the design/price point for this router and that is home office and small business wherein an administrator has control of all devices. You will need to advise the other users of your internet connection that all non-business related data traffic...

    Asus 86U randomly having latency issues

    When I used DFS, some of my devices were challenged when the channel changed. I now use fixed channels that I determine are the best by using a WiFi app called 'WiFi Explorer' and information from WiFi Radar on the 86U.

    WAN capped at 100mb help please! asus 87u

    While I am not saying this is your issue, a 2.4 GHz WiFi signal can inject noise into a CAT 6 or less cable. I myself just had to install two CAT 7 cables to replace old CAT 6 for that reason. CAT 7 has better shielding. Since you only have two Ethernet cables connected to router, I would...

    WAN capped at 100mb help please! asus 87u

    A decent quality cable will be marked CAT 7 and have gold color on the RJ45. The message was “Disabled-Incompatible with”. Since you can’t identify the current cable, replace with CAT 7. Additionally, try a different computer. The point of my recommendation is that we know the symptoms and...

    WAN capped at 100mb help please! asus 87u

    I personally would use Enable or Auto. Can we assume your using 384.13_10? To eliminate cable, please obtain a CAT 7.

    WAN capped at 100mb help please! asus 87u

    Colin Taylor - Good call. I have a AC86U (384.19) and my speed test shows the same whether I am LAN or WiFi connected. 235 Mbps down and 11.7 Mbps up. 'WiFi Explorer' shows my 5 GHz connection as being able to achieve 1.733 Gbps. Hope that helps

    WAN capped at 100mb help please! asus 87u

    With regard to the network map, is your computer plugged into LAN 1 or LAN 2? With regard to the wall socket, what is the wall socket connected to? With regard to the wall socket, are you using the same cable as when you plug the computer into the router? With regard to 'max 350 Mbps, how are...

    Ethernet port speed dropping from 1Gbps to 100Mbps (AC5300 & 384.12)

    Good to hear. I just had an interesting experience. My ASUS router, RaspberryPi (Ethernet only), and Apple router are all within four feet of each other, no LAN issues and all were at 1 Gbps. Then I installed a WYZE base station and my RaspberryPi connection went down to 100 Mbps, rebooting did...

    Ethernet port speed dropping from 1Gbps to 100Mbps (AC5300 & 384.12)

    I assume you have tried different ports on the ASUS and Netgear. A troubleshooting technique I would try Is to minimize what’s connected to each and then, after a period of time, connect one cable and wait again. Keep repeating until all returned or one re-connection causes a change of speed.

    Ethernet port speed dropping from 1Gbps to 100Mbps (AC5300 & 384.12)

    CAT 5 is more susceptible to crosstalk which could cause a drop in speed.

    Ethernet port speed dropping from 1Gbps to 100Mbps (AC5300 & 384.12)

    The negotiated speed between devices is determined by the physical attributes of the cable and auto-negotiation. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonegotiation Based on the description you provided, it would appear to be a: Cable issue - Purchase a quality Cat 6 cable, making sure that...

    Weird setup at in-laws, with weird symptoms

    The ASUS and NetGear are both assigned an IP address of 192.168.7.3 . I am thinking of these possibilities: Where it my install I would use NAT on the ASUS as well. Yes, double NATing. Downstream network of perhaps 192.168.8.0 . Default gateway issue? Check a device on WiFi and see what the...

    AC86U Reboot Issue - 384.16

    Once I post this reply, I will try to reproduce and update. I know that but the point is that the router had begun the reboot process far enough to do that. Not using AiProtection. ************************************************************** Rebooted cable modem and monitored router. Here is...

    AC86U Reboot Issue - 384.16

    Last year, when I was running SMB, a GUI reboot worked every time. Power off, turn yourself around three times, power on. Here's the thing: Router was working just fine. Memory was at 53% Cable modem was rebooted to get it to re-sync to ISP Cable modem came back but router could not connect...

    AC86U Reboot Issue - 384.16

    None Thumb drive but why would that prevent a reboot? I would expect firmware to unmount as part of reboot or make drive inaccessible after reboot. I will remove and retest. Nothing I haven’t used for the past six or more firmware versions. Long time but I would expect a power on reset not to...

    AC86U Reboot Issue - 384.16

    Had significant errors on cable modem so I rebooted it to clear counters and re-sync. When it came back online the AC86U said the WAN was disconnected, system log indicating ISP DHCP issue. No worries, I'll just reboot router from GUI and it went through the motions, came back and said WAN was...

    Apple Time Machine Solution

    After my AirPort router died over a year ago, I sought another solution. I purchased an ASUS router which stated it supported Apple Time Machine. Well after some challenges with the ASUS firmware, I installed ASUSWRT-Merlin and got it working though not well. Switched from ASUS Time Machine to...

    WAN link state changes to 100 mbps (Asus TM-AC1900/AC-68U)

    Devices that use auto discovery can use a variety of techniques to determine appropriate settings for an Ethernet port. As an example, an Ethernet cable may be labeled as CAT5 but it may have design/manufacturing issues, too long, or be too close to electrical noise to be used at 1G but work...

    Ethernet port speed dropping from 1Gbps to 100Mbps (AC5300 & 384.12)

    I concur with @ColinTaylor upgrade firmware on Asus. However, a simple solution may be just to make that port on the switch 1Gbps. Here is the CLI format for doing that on your switch: speed Use this command to enable or disable auto-negotiation and set the speed that will be advertised by that...
