Asus AC58u Wireless Router giving low speeds

[Deleted member 13033]

It's ok now after I changed dns to my isp of act broadband, primary dns and secondary I used I think 8.8.4.4.

Fiddle with mtu if u have lot of issue with browsing..I compared browsing using Airtel 4g @20mbps and using this router I found both results are good.

since last couple of days getting 95MBps up and down on PC and proper speeds on Wifi network i.e 150MBps, did restart and changed the cable port too, but still getting same speeds on PC. Nothing downloading on PC. I have a gigabit port on the PC, its set on Gigabit duplex.

I asked ACT they are saying no issue from their side !

Login and and Logout from act portal done, no QOS on.

it ran firmware upgrade, since then it wont connect to ISP using normal DHCP method. It works only with Poppe method and I have only reset this thing ? its rather annoying as dont know what is wrong there is some issue going on with ACT too as their speed is currently 10MBps instead of 150MBps.. sny suggestions ? tx current firmware: 3.0.0.4.382_51899

I am assuming you were using WR841N..... Please tell, how were you getting 96mbps on 802.11n?

The best I got was 68.8mbps, that also putting my phone next to router antenna.

Just to mention, 802.11n support 144.4mbps on 40mhz channel width.
I have the same with my BSNL FTTH and my S8+ gets full 100 Mbps and above speed during speed test.
I suggest using 40mhz channel width if the interference is low.

My own exp with Asus router brought prev is not good. Too many addon goodies but lacks on core stuff.
Glad i went with Netgear this time.

i dont know what i did, there was a firmware upgrade few days later after i tweeted to Asus, i haven't really faced any issue with ASUS as such, i find some lag on loading website though on being 300mbps act connection, but i dont know if its just ACT issue or router.. i stopped thinking too much on it now 😛

ya
the lag is there if you use ACT'S DNS/Open DNS on ACT Fibernet
use google'S DNS
