Hi SNB community. I am new to this forum but it helped me out a lot in the past, so I am hoping that one of you can help me with this problem.
I am running an RT-AX6000 with 3.0.0.4.388_33427 firmware. Up until yesterday I had Qos turned off (actually never turned on so far) and two guest networks running, one for my smart home devices on 2.4GHz (I believe this is wl_0.1) and one for my work clients on 5GHz (prob. wl_1.1). Both never had any bandwidth limitations activated and all clients worked fine on both the standard WiFi (both 2.4/5GHz) as well as the guest networks.
I then decided to add a third guest network for some IoT devices (wl_0.3) and thought it would be a good idea to limit the bandwidth to 0.1Mbit for both up- and download to give it a try. I then deleted the guest network again without deleting the bandwidth limitation within the guest network settings. Since then I experienced super slow WiFi speeds accross all other WiFi configurations (only devices connected via LAN didn't suffer) - appr. 0.1Mbit. I tried to reactivate the third guest network, resetting the bandwidth limitations, increasing the limitations, but there was no success. All WiFi devices were basically unable to communicate over the net. As a last grasp I activated Qos and tried to find a probable permanent setting of the bandwidth limiter and suddenly (with adaptive QoS) everything on WiFi worked fine again! Against all other recommendations within this and other forums, it actually worked, but it comes with a price: according to other posts this deactivates the hardware acceleration and hence slows down the overall WAN speed.
So I tried to find particular nvram settings that looked like bandwith limitation and i found these for instance - and those values change depending on what is entered in the guest network limits. I then updated those values to null (just as the other guest networks had)
But as soon as I turned off QoS the WiFi speed dropped to almost zero again.
Even a factory reset didn't help, as soon as I configured a single guest network without limitations the WiFi speed drops to zero, LAN works fine.
Has anyone experienced anything like that and does anyone have a hint for me what else to try? Otherwise I believe I have to stick to adaptive QoS = on.
Many thanks in advance!
