I'd be grateful for some help, please.
I have an Asus RT-AC5300 router, working with a Virgin Media Superhub 3 (in modem mode) on a DOCSIS3.0 cable supply with an "up to 300MBps" speed. I have measured the speed at different times of the day, using speedtest.net, and the download speed varies between 321-240Mbps most of the time, however it drops to as low as 75Mbps at heavy use times.
I have a wired connection to my desktop PC, a Lenovo ThinkStation P300, and this is where I have monitored the majority of my "raw" speedtests.
We have a moderately large property and there are up to 7x iOS devices connected, plus an Amazon firestick, a PlayStation3 and a PlayStation 4, plus 2x other desktop PCs, all of which are connected via wifi.
I've noticed that connection speeds seem to be slowish and have started monitoring speeds at the different wifi clients. With my previous router, an Asus RT68-AC, I was able to get download speeds of up to 175Mbps on my iOS devices (iPhone 7 & 6) using the speedtest.net app.
However, in recent testing with the Asus RT5300, the average speeds by way of this app are between 15-25Mbps, even when standing right next to the router.
In order to address this, I have tried the following:
1. Reset the router to factory default and reset all settings - no improvement
2. Reset a couple of iOS devices - no change;
3. Changed channels on all bands: 2.4, 5(1) and 5(2) - some modest improvement, however hasn't really improved the speed much beyond 25Mbps
4. Removed the RT5300 and replaced it with the RT68 - no change
5. Removed both routers and changed the Superhub3 to router mode - no change in wifi speeds
6. Switched off a wireless telephone located in the same office as the router - no change whatsoever
7. Checked immediate area around the router (which is located in an open setting, on top of a bookshelf near to a central-ish point in the house) for any other potential interference and could not find anything likely to be causing a problem. (Note this is the same location as for the RT68 which previously provided wifi speedtest app speeds of c.175Mbps)
And thus, I am at a loss as to where to go from here.
I'd appreciate any help which could be provided - thank you.
