    Before I throw out my Asus AC88u router$%#$&% Merlin?

    update after the coolest and most nicest Verizon Tech came out: He saw what I have been seeing. Decided to run the Fiber directly into my office. Which was really easy, so we did that. He put the new ONT inside my office and bam. speeds are good. Checked and double checked. Good for now...

    I actually went this route last year. Got their router and I believe I had the same issues. I can't remember at this time. But I sent it back.

    No..... but a mbp could cause these issues? I mean I can't be the only person with one doing exactly what I am doing can I? side note. Thank you for your replies I really appreciate it. I can when the wife gets back in town. she has a pc laptop.

    Why yes I am. It’s actually a mbp 2018. They are gonna send a tech out tomorrow. Anything I should know to ask or say. Or do now? I could take the router out and hook just the computer up? But I’m sure it’s not the router?

    Update: I just installed the synology router and I’m getting the same issue. Upload speeds tank. I called Verizon and am waiting for a call back. I have ran cat 6 cable two times so I can’t be the cable. I don’t know what to tell them. I am dreading the phone calls and back and forth with them.

    See that’s the issue. They refuse to really do anything about it bc I won’t use their Verizon router. I’ve been around and around with them.

    Ok so upload speeds went down again, so I checked the qos and saw nothing. Then I unplugged from the router and directly into my computer for the most part. My upload speed stayed the same. 7mbps so maybe its not the router. of which Verizon refuses to say anything is wrong on their end. I...

    I’ll check that out also. Router is well over 2 yrs old and I am pretty sure they only have a 2 yr warranty. But I’ll check into that regardless. Good info and I appreciate all the great support. Fabulous

    Update: So today it showed slow upload on 5g, like 3mbps upload and download plus 150 mbps I then checked hardwire Lan and it showed the same. So I rebooted the router and its back to normal. So I can assume the router is a piece of (*&#(*& like I thought? there also showed no performance issue...

    Before I throw out my Asus AC88u router$%#$&% Merlin?

    Well that is a long story. I went down that road last year with Verizon until I gave up. I even went as far as buying their damn router and modem and used that. it worked fine. They will not have anything to do with me anymore bc I refuse to use their crappy equipment. (then again I guess I am...
