    Massive loss of speed via wireless on DSL-AC68U

    Thanks again, JDB, for the thorough explanation. This has been quite the learning experience. I may spend a few days mulling over the various routers before making a decision. My AC68U has worked flawlessly over the last 3 years and so my gut feeling is to stick with ASUS. I’ll post details when...

    Massive loss of speed via wireless on DSL-AC68U

    One other question, JDB, please: Would I not need the DSL versions not the RT versions of the routers mentioned? Or is the thingy they installed on the wall actually a modem/ONT so that I can use the RT versions? Is there an easy way to tell or is that just the way PPPoE systems are? Many thanks...

    Massive loss of speed via wireless on DSL-AC68U

    Thanks for this, JDB. I will check those routers/configurations. I figured that wifi was always going to be a problem some distance from the router, but what I didn't realise was that the clients and the router itself were incapable of sending/receiving the full bandwidth. I did see a WAN to LAN...

    Massive loss of speed via wireless on DSL-AC68U

    Thank you. If you look at original screen shot attached to my first post it does say PPPoE as connection type. And somehow that very fact dictates my menus within the UI? Does that mean I have Ethernet fibre? I didn’t know there were different types and just assumed that as my router was...

    Massive loss of speed via wireless on DSL-AC68U

    I hear you on the cost, JDB, it’s a constant Money pit to keep up. I guess you must be covering quite an area to need such a setup. As a person with obvious experience in this area, do you have any hardware recommendations? I.e. what router would be a good starting point to output maximum...

    Massive loss of speed via wireless on DSL-AC68U

    Shouldn’t I be able to get 900 Mb/s in line of sight with just the 1 router? Isn’t it 1300 for 5GHz and 600 for 2.4? Am I missing something?

    Massive loss of speed via wireless on DSL-AC68U

    Looked at these, too. Not too sure what extra this is telling me. If the Speedtest says 350 then that’s the Internet throughput, no? As you can tell, I’m not super confident with the theory behind the science but I guess I just want to be sure it’s not a setup issue prior to purchasing a new...

    Massive loss of speed via wireless on DSL-AC68U

    Sorry about the embedding, new to this! Not much on the wireless page to adjust and the wireless log isn’t showing any obvious clues. Is it possible that the router isn’t up to the task? Even if I move around while staying line of sight I’m not coaxing any more speed. Used to get maximum close...

    Massive loss of speed via wireless on DSL-AC68U

    Yes, this I realise. Really just need to know how to access the necessary settings on router to mess with VDSL Setup and/or any useful ideas on what’s causing the massive loss of speed. Many thanks for your input, Colin

    Massive loss of speed via wireless on DSL-AC68U

    Thanks for this L&LD, but 350 Mb/s Out of 900 standing next to the router? Also my DSL AC68U does have 3 antennae? If I could access the various settings I thought I might have a chance at upping the throughput. If not I will purchase something better suited. Thanks again.

    Massive loss of speed via wireless on DSL-AC68U

    Hi to all, I'm new to this forum and not the most gifted networker but I get by - mostly! I recently upgraded my internet service to a 900 Mb/s service from Kcom (serves Hull and surroundings in East Yorkshire, UK). I took a wire directly to my Mac and am getting the full 900 Mb/s 24/7...
