Asus BE96U slowness (< 150mbps)

[jpiszcz]

I am using an ASUS BE96U as an access point and on the latest firmware. After a reboot I see good speeds 800mbps on wifi6 and 1300-1500mbps on wifi7. However, after some amount of time days(?) when I run a local Speedtest I only see around 100mbps up and down (this is on a 10GbE Linux machine). If I reboot the router or switch to my older RT-AX86U I see good speeds again. Has anyone seen this issue before and know what it may be?

Please post under the asus subforum for BE class wireless routers for better responses. There are also threads there discussing similar issues. What protocol is the ISP using for the connection - PPPoe ? What is the ISP bandwidth ? How are you testing - local only (LAN) or LAN to WAN ? bandwidth testing should be first over a LAN connection instead of wireless to eliminate many variables of wireless. And should be from a capable LAN client through the router to the WAN.

I will post there, thank you-- this is local speed testing between the Access Point (BE 96U) an a 10GbE server (Acess Point <->LAN).
