Ok so I was testing speed on the fast.com app and was never getting much over 250, tried the Speedtest.net app and downstairs on the same floor as the router I’m maxing my piped in speed at 500. I’m happy with that!

Surely I should be getting much better speeds. The only thing I’m thinking of doing is switching back to smart connect and see if that makes any difference. No other WiFi settings have been changed except separating the WiFi bands and manually setting the channels. I pride myself on having the...

Ok so I eventually picked up one or two wifi 6 devices, an iPhone 11 and the new iPhone SE. I have always had AX enabled on my WiFi and have yet to notice any difference in speeds compared to my older devices. reading up on the iPhone 11 I have seen people get speeds of over 500 on AC routers...

Never noticed it, I would wonder if it would affect other devices I have using their own DNS? I have the kid's devices configured on the router to use family shield DNS.

Hey everyone, So after some previous questions regarding my own vpn I successfully configured my GT-AX11000 to run a vpn and it was great. I can log in from anywhere and enable/disable the kids WiFi or access my network. Just recently I noticed something that was previously working but now has...

I have watched YouTube videos of people testing the range on this and it’s nothing like mine or on my old Ac5300. It looks like some people are getting further range in the 5ghz than I would on my 2.4. But it could be down to some small setting changes.

Change your control channel from auto to a fixed one chosen by you on your 2.4 and 5ghz bands. Bandwidth you can leave as is if your having no issues.

Cheers If I had of know that I would of tinkered around a long time ago. If I wanted to also use a paid service for certain devices in my house is this router capable of running both at the same time?

Hey Everyone, just thought I would ask a few questions regarding the vpn side of things. I watched a few videos on YouTube of people setting up a vpn to there network but it never mentioned having an account with a provider. The router created the configure file and the user imported it into a...

Also guys is there anything in the log file that might in point to something? I have noticed now in the last day that some devices are dropping off the wifi and coming back online after a minute, iPhones and Macbook.

Thanks for your suggestions, I will do a full power down as suggested tomorrow and test. Hopefully this will fix the issue. If I was to go the full nuclear reset could I keep my wifi name so my devices will all connect and I don't have to configure every little device. Some of them are a nightmare.

I see what your saying but as I mentioned my Sony tv that is hardwired was also stuttering and unwatchable while the little lad was playing online. Surely a router like this should have no trouble doing multiple streams and gaming sessions? It is a gaming router after all.

Ok so just a quick update. I tried watching a 4K movie from my NAS last night and the same thing was happening. Tried again today while the house was a bit quite and it worked from the nas and YouTube. My son just started playing call of duty online and I’m back to both the nas and YouTube...

Im going to try put a 4k 50gb movie on my Nas drive, Its connected to the router hardwired and at 1gb so I'll see what happens.

Ok guys so I just finished watching the xbox game showcase on YouTube and it was streaming in 1080p but as soon as it finishes all the game clips upload in 4k. I tried to watch them on my Samsung 4k tv connected on the 5ghz wifi and it stutters like mad! It aint watchable. Drop it down to 1440p...
