    Asus RT-N66U & VPN Help

    Hi, I hope somebody can help me, I have been interested in using a VPN for a while now and finally I have a chance to see about it. I currently am on a free trial with Cyberghost, I know they have a utility to configure it from your computer but I thought seen as I have the RT-N66U it might...

    iOS Wifi Speed Problems

    I might have a look and see if I can find the contact details of someone more senior at Sky such as product development or even the CEO who could pass my details onto the relevant person.

    iOS Wifi Speed Problems

    No worries. What I think could be a more likely is perhaps they are throttling mobile devices. If you think about how almost everyone uses them these days as it is a much better way of quickly checking things. They did outright deny this when I asked them but there really is no way to prove...

    iOS Wifi Speed Problems

    I wish it was that simple :( I replaced the stock router my ISP gave as it was awful. By right believe it or not it is against their T&C to replace their router. They wont cancel your account but they wont help. It is a fiber service but they also only consider it to be a problem when your...

    iOS Wifi Speed Problems

    My sister is with an ISP called BT, Their package is the same 40Mbps down, 10Mbps up. In actual fact my ISP Sky sublease the equipment from BT but use their own back-haul. In her house with the standard issue router I can easily max out the 40Mbps speed on the 5GHz connection. My ISP uses a...

    iOS Wifi Speed Problems

    @PrivateJoker, I believe so, They are certainly the only ones available to select. That is a very big difference in your results. I don't believe I have the option to change mine to anything higher. @bluepoint, On 2.4GHz I have the channel bandwidth set to 20MHz, On 5GHz I have it set to 40MHz...

    iOS Wifi Speed Problems

    Ok, So here is the results on my speed-tests on each available channel. When preforming these tests I used my iPhone 5 with the Ookla Speedtest app and I left it in the same position each time, flat on the table about 160cm from the router and always using the same server. 5GHz Channel...

    iOS Wifi Speed Problems

    @PrivateJoker, Thanks for going to all that trouble and for posting the results, Doing a quick similar test this morning in my house I cant say I noticed the same drop. Perhaps as you are on a higher speed it is more noticable? @bluepoint, Ok I will be sure to do that and post my results...

    iOS Wifi Speed Problems

    Wow lots of more replys, Sorry for not getting back sooner, @PrivateJoker, I did see your post yes, Thanks for that, It seems interesting. @bluepoint, Yes I clear the Nvram after installing the updates and I manually reconfigure the router. This is actually the second N66U I have had. The...

    iOS Wifi Speed Problems

    Hi :), No b/g clients, Well a PS3 but that's not connected. Have tried it on "N only" and a static channel again no difference (channel 6 for 2.4GHz and channel 44 on 5GHz) based on my inSSIDer results from competing neighbor signals (there are not many at least visible from within my...

    iOS Wifi Speed Problems

    Thanks for the reply, I should have said that I have tried the "Forget This Network" option, I have even reset the network settings and gone as far as fresh install of iOS itself, All to no avail. In my area there is not a lot of competing signals, Inside my house I can only pick up on a...
