Hi all,
I bought AX88U a few months ago to replace my old TPLink and have been very happy with it. But I just moved to another apartment in the same building and the wifi download speed (speedtest.com) suddenly dropped from around 500Mbps to 200Mbps, while the upload speed is still ~500Mbps. The device now has Merlin 384.17. Here are what I have done:
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The device now has Merlin 384.17. Here are what I have done:
- ISP: I'm now using another fiber ISP (was using AT&T but hate their gateway router). Connect computer via Ethernet to the AX88U and got ~1Gbps speed. So the issue must be related to the wireless connection
- End devices: tried iPhone and Laptop. Laptop is even slower than iPhone (~150) which I guess partly due to Wifi 6 support
- Router setting: I restored to factory default and no difference (it is still Merlin after factory reset which I guess it is the normal behavior?)
- Channel: I tried a couple of fixed channel (120, 161 etc.) as well as auto channel. not much improving
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
