We have recently purchased two Asus RT-AC68U routers to act as wireless APs in our office. We have a 100/100 Mbps internet connection and wired speeds test consistently in the 80-90 Mbps range in both directions using speedtest.net
Unfortunately, while on WiFi (5Ghz - iPhone 6/iPad Air) download speeds (tested using speedtest.net app) never exceed 30-40 Mbps while upload is fine and consistently in the 80-90 Mbps range. I'm at my wits end and can't figure our what the problem could be.
Currently, settings are at their factory defaults but I have tried adjusting various settings to no avail. Firmware is up to date, actually loaded Merlin's version to see if that would make a difference (no).
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Why would only downstream speeds be affected?
UPDATE:
More info, I looked in the Wireless log and this is what i'm seeing:
Mode : AP Only
Stations (flags: P=Powersave Mode, S=Short GI, T=STBC, A=Associated, U=Authenticated)
----------------------------------------
MAC IP Address RSSI Rx/Tx Rate Connected Flags
F0:99:BF:14:2C:6C -49dBm 24/433 Mbps 0:07:55 PS AU
This would explain the slow download speed, but why is the Rx rate so low ?
