I just picked up a RT-AX86S, planning for the eventual failure of my RT-AC86U, and have setup the AX86S as the router, AC86U as an AP(Wired, not AiMesh). I am on fibre to home, 500/500 plan, yet the ISP is doing a month long promo of 1.5G/1.0G. Fibre modem is Bell HH4000, and the router connects using PPPoE, bypassing the HH4000 to the extent possible.
network would look like:
ISP Fibre - HH4000 - RT-AX86S - RT-AX86U - laptop by wifi or CAT6
Looking at the Internet speed on the network map while downloading large ISO files, the DL/UL are reported as almost the same speed on the AC86U(Access point)(30MB/30MB), yet the AX86S only shows significant traffic for DL(30MB/40KB). I was expecting to only see significant DL traffic on the AC86U as well.
Is this expected, or do I have something miss configured?
