    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    i'm still using 384.17, which is what I had when I started this post. Still having slow uploads as well. I've just accepted the 160-200Mbit limit my iOS devices were seeing. I still have to update to 384.19, but since I usually do a factory reset after upgrading firmware I needed to backup all...

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    so it seems the iphones, ipads, and other wifi adapters in the home don't have 160mhz. I forgot my motherboard had integrated wifi, and I disabled my ethernet and connected using the Intel AC 9560. This is with whatever outdated drivers windows auto installed, and without the external antenna...

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    System's are stable, no fluctuations in speeds, no drops, no disconnections, no compromised bandwidth from the numbers I've post since I set it up. It's just I immediately noticed that upload speed was halved, and that's it. Been rock solid 600-650/200 for every wireless device, unless I'm...

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    Very helpful information, thank you L&LD. What I meant about the 40Mhz was in regards to the option you mentioned I set for my 5Ghz, manually setting 160MHz. The 2.4GHz network (since I broadcast 2 separate SSID) has the options as well. It looks like the 3 options I can set for the 2.4 are...

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    Here's a quick channel survey after scanning a couple of minutes. Looks like 11 would be best 2.4ghz channel, and I supposed I could try 36 and 40. I was on 40 at the time of this test, so those 2 are very low usage for 5ghz. I live in an apartment building in New York City, but for purposes of...

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    @L&LD hi, thanks for reaching out. would manually setting a channel bandwidth of 160mhz prevent devices incapable of that band to connect to the 5ghz? Also the 'capable' for protected management frames is tied to wi-fi agile multiband option being enabled. is it okay to disable this as well?

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    Looks like the router auto selected channel 40/ 160mhz iPhone speed tested at 620/212 Mbps 1200/1200 link speed with router at 80Mhz connected using ax Would turning off auto-and manually selecting 40 give a different result, or should this serve the purpose of the test since it had it auto...

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    Channel spectrum is something I admit I know little about. Save knowing not to use a saturated channel. I can scan my location again using a site survey app and find a channel that isn't in use, however should I land a fixed channel on a DFS channel? Or use the something in the UNII-1/2 area of...

    thank you FTC, looks like Merlin disables "Airtime Fairness" by default and I confirmed it off. I turned off universal beamforming though, though the speed tests remain the same.

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    Yeah, made sure QoS was off. Haven't added those settings and factory defaults don't include them on at all either. But I did triple check that. You're not using merlin on your main router I noticed? AsusWRT? Maybe I can try that, but i'm sure someone using AX88U and the same merlin build isn't...

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    Hi everyone, first post. I just picked up this router and flashed it with merlins wrt 384.17. I reset the router afterwards to factory settings and checked the initialize box to get the cleanest wipe, and set it up. Problem i'm having is i'm seeing less than 1/2 of my upstream bandwidth during...
