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

    Welcome back from your sabbatical ... Auto-Negotiation is a continuous process. Please refer to these two articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonegotiation https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/lan-switching/ethernet/10561-3.html There are many more sources of information but the...

    WAN capped at 100mb help please! asus 87u

    @Cazzoi, @ColinTaylor Is correct. The first part in determining the attributes of a port's Ethernet connection is associated with the physical connections and the cable. Check the WAN port at the back of the router. However, after the port determines the physical characteristics of the...

    WAN capped at 100mb help please! asus 87u

    @Cazzoi Welcome back! Let me repeat back what you just stated: When you plug a PC into the wall socket you get 400Mbps Moving the cable from the PC to the router WAN port you then only get 100Mbps Looking at the Network Map screen you should see that the WAN port has connected at 1Gbps...

    How to begin diagnosing why internet not working?

    Let me restate: Everything works when all of a sudden your Windows PC says it lost access to internet You then reset the WiFi on the PC and then it finds the internet but will eventually lose it again Correct? Questions: Is this the only WiFi device with the issue? If you connect the same...

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

    I hope you have noticed that from the GUI on the AC5300 you cannot set the port speed. This is because the port speed is negotiated, though a cable issue could also force a lower port speed. "... speed as reported in both the AC5300 GUI and the upstream switch ..." As a first step, I would...

    Asus RT-AC88U - Devices cannot talk to each other

    5GHz has a shorter range than 2.4GHz. As a mobile device is moved further away from router it could automatically switch from 5 to 2.4GHz thus maintaining a connection. Since it's the same SSID the changeover would be seamless. And why would you want to? Same IP network, true...

    Asus RT-AC88U - Devices cannot talk to each other

    I am sure you have a reason for two SSID rather than a Guest network but that is your decision. I have a single SSID for both bands with no Guest ID. For the mentioned settings mine are configured as follows: Airtime Fairness - Enabled on both bands Universal Beamforming - Enabled on both bands...

    New RT-AC88U has a totally unstable connection

    And that's your problem. You need to purchase an Ethernet cable, of the appropriate length, that is Category 5 e or higher. Since I don't speak French I am not going to be able to read and support information for the Freebox V5 but I suspect you can't configure to force a port to 100Mbps, most...

    iTunes can't verify the identity of the server...

    I have a MacBook running 10.14.6 and have not experienced any issues at all running 384.13 on my RT-AC86u. My ISP is Spectrum cable. I use Google DNS not my ISP's. "is4-ssl.mzstatic.com" is a site in the Netherlands which is owned by Akamai Technologies, Inc." play.itunes.apple.com" is also in...

    New RT-AC88U has a totally unstable connection

    @Kettch Don't use your ISP provided device in bridge mode, at least right now, as that can make resolving your problem more challenging. First thing is to remove the ASUS from the equation completely. If the ISP device has WiFi, disable it. Then using your ISP's device get an Ethernet device...

    Trouble connecting Macintosh and Epson printer - rest of network is fine

    I have a similar setup; ASUS router, Epson printer (WF-3520), and a MacBook. All are within a distance of 30 feet from each other with the printer in a closed wooden cabinet. I never had a problem with AirPrint. When I am away from home, I have even used Epson Cloud print but I prefer Google...

    RT-AC5300 slow internet speed

    I am not familiar with any of that so I don’t want to give you bad advice on that. Hopefully, @ColinTaylor can answer.

    RT-AC5300 slow internet speed

    Of course. Another thought is IPv6. If enabled, consider disabling to test. Beyond that I am out of suggestions.

    RT-AC5300 slow internet speed

    For testing purposes only, consider disabling ASUS DDNS to see if that improves speed. Further, unless your ISP requests it please change "DHCP query frequency" to Normal. I have added two images. One is to show you the location of the "DHCP query frequency" option. and the other is to show...

    RT-AC5300 slow internet speed

    Let me recap: Xfinity 100Mbps service PC Ethernet connection to cable modem yields speed of 100Mbps PC connection to AC5300 yields speed of 30 Mbps Questions: What is the PC connection to AC5300? If WiFi, then: Please use Ethernet connection and report speed in a reply to this post If...

    LAN - Route

    I have been away from Cisco routers for too long but I seem to remember that in an environment like yours there was a way to configure the Cisco routers with the same 'virtual' IP address say 10.16.130.250 while their real IP addresses were 252, 253,254. Should the Cisco router with the active...

    Asus RT-ac68u - Unknow devices

    Answers based on my experience but assuming that your laptop and phone apps do not retain information from being logged in to other networks: Yes. Each MAC address beginning with 00:08:22 is from a different communications chip from the same manufacturer Yes, assuming the manufacturer also...

    Asus RT-AC66U issues

    There are many moving parts to a SSH connection. Consequently, you will need to first understand the exact nature of the failure. I would recommend that you Google "troubleshooting ssh connection" and find the best methodology to determine what exactly went wrong so that you can pursue further...

    Asus RT-AC86U - Abysmal wireless settings @default

    I would run the same test using one or more of your devices connected to Verizon router's WiFi just to have a baseline. Make sure you use a different SSiD name. Usually the default settings are adequate but let's wait until you've looked at possible contention and established a baseline.
