Greetings,
Comcast Extreme 105 (130/25)
Arris 6121
Asus RT-AC66U
I have a RT-AC66U I’ve been using for about a year and a half. Over the past 6 months my WiFi speed on both bands has been throttled to 30/25 on 2.4m and 40/25 on 5g. In the past I was getting the same WiFi speeds as the wired speeds. I’ve tried a master reset, changing the channels using WiFi analyzer, only having one device on the network at a time, change the SSID and password, upgrading the firmware and nothing seems to change.
My thought was the router was on its way out so I picked up a RT-AC68U. Guess what, same issue. Can’t seem to get faster than 40/25 even with only one WiFi device connected. Wired speed is on point at 130/25 all day long.
I contacted Comcast to get some help and after they remoted into my network, they stated my modem was bad which is causing my poor WiFi speeds. This seems odd to me since my wired speeds from the modem are correct. I’m willing to buy a new modem, but after just dropping $150 on the 68U, I’m bit hesitant to spend another $120 on a modem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
