Some kind of 2.5gbit bottleneck issue - testing new GTAX11000 on Merlin latest 388.7

Wifi speeds are also going to be variable due to conditions. Whats the connected speed say on 2.5g port when using the Internet speed function? That will tell you the speed coming in from wan 2.5g rather then what your getting over wireless.

From the router device x86-64 device

Highest i have seen on its best days is 2100mb/s, on its worst 1300mb/s. I call that issues with the testing server.

I always get flack for showing my wifi settings. I'm not going to say they are optimal or even correct for most people. But it's what I use and prefer. Since your testing over wifi I'm not the best person to say what is best practice.

Now I'd try this test on the internet speed page on the gt-ax11000 to see if they are even remotely close. Use the 2.5g port.

Yea, my wifi situation is great. The issue is the big discrepancies with the wired.

Can I do it in AP mode? do you have a link you can share so I can quickly access it from AP mode. I think the page is hidden.

I assume your using aimesh.. maybe not guess ap mode blocks some stuff.

ssh: nvram set re_mode=0 will unhide the page. then use https://192.168.x.x:8443/AdaptiveQoS_InternetSpeed.asp

alternatively you can use rtrmon to do the speedtest via amtm. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/r...-scanner-speedtest-new-beta8-available.90292/

or add via this link:

curl --retry 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ViktorJp/RTRMON/develop/rtrmon.sh" -o "/jffs/scripts/rtrmon.sh" && chmod 755 "/jffs/scripts/rtrmon.sh"

heres some tests with various servers using the builtin speed test.

Okay so that's closer to the speeds you should be getting assuming it's still on 2.5g during those tests and the slower speeds aren't only from the 2.5g port. But it appears your issue is with slower speeds over wifi and using speedtest.

DFS and certain country's have limitations on band/channels available for 160Mhz. Meaning it can drop down to 80Mhz bandwidth or worse depending on the device and it's radios and how many stream (antenna) it has. Checking your wireless log will show you more information about the client devices to see if your connecting at the faster speeds.

Can't return a gift, it was brand new still in the box though. I guess I could re-gift it (naahh). I do however plan to use it for something else... I will look into purchasing one of these newer models though.

Unless your really keen on aimesh nodes should look at Altalabs wired AP’s. They’ve really been interesting me lately.

yep right now I have Aimesh set to hardwire backhaul. At the moment, my only business level device is connected to the modem. I did that so I could get my hands dirty with the 2.5gbit. I am currently on the wait list for the new fiber being brought into my area. Once that happens, I plan to ditch comcast completely.

Marketing jargon really isn't the selling points for me lol.

well, we all know how that goes with asus. We get to immerse ourselves into a new gaming experience, wrapped up in a web of AIMESH which is baby sit by the life time trendmicrowaves protection.

the selling points

What are the selling points?

 

[DJones]

What are the selling points?

Mainly the specs and the controller. It's not all around robust like a asus router which tries to be a little of everything. But for wired poe+ ap's seems solid; I haven't utilized any so I could be just drooling from specs, and they could be crap. But probably the way I'm eventually going to go.

Good luck with it. I see nothing revolutionary in the 3x APs and 3x switches they offer. I can guarantee you the products you see are rebranded products of another company with some hard to pronounce name and mandarin speaking owner. No one is going to reinvent the wheel just to try.
