    RT-AX86U - a huge speed difference between wifi and cable

    Yup, did that - set to 149/80. Tried UNII-1 channels, but they all have worse performance (1/2) of the UNII-3 band. A neighbor is already running 157/80, so I can't try that one, and i'm within 10-15 miles of a large GA airport, so know that the DFS channels will be a problem.

    RT-AX86U - a huge speed difference between wifi and cable

    Thanks - did that. With 1 router it only connects to 2.4. With 2 and 3, I get about 200. With just the basement and 3rd floor I get 500 upstairs, but signal isn't enough out in the yard. It really does take 4 to get me to 500 everywhere. But even 10' from the main router, with only that one...

    RT-AX86U - a huge speed difference between wifi and cable

    Thanks. I decided to wipe and resetup again, with just the basic tweaks, and did your suggestion. Now getting 500. Still only ~ 1/2 of wired. Are my expectations off? Being 10-12' from the router with nothing in between, I was expecting better.

    RT-AX86U - a huge speed difference between wifi and cable

    I was just coming here to post a similar thread. Getting 900+ when wired to a mesh node, but only 100-200 on wifi - that's on a new M1 mac. Seeing similar wifi results on iPad pro and an intel mac. All the devices are ~10 feet from the router. Antennas are vertical. AIMesh with wired...
