Hi All,
Recently i upgraded from a very old 150 Mbps basic router to this ASUS router as i wanted good LAN speeds for streaming HD movies and games within my home. I thought this router would be an awesome upgrade compared to my basic router, but to my horror its a very very slight improvement, i am so pissed off , i think i may be doing something wrong so i need help.
Issue 1
WLAN speeds are pathetic, i get like 8 Mbps to 11 Mbps speeds?.. what nonsense is this, i am not talking about the internet speeds , my internet speed is just 10 Mbps so no issues there, but i expected my LAN speeds to be waaaaay better than this garbage speed. below is what was advertised , at least i thought i would get around 400 mbps lan speeds in my 5ghz band for streaming my PC games or movies
Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi with concurrent speeds up to 867Mbps (5GHz) and 400Mbps (2.4GHz)
So now i thought i may be doing something wrong and here is my setup for streaming movies,
My PC has windows 10 and Killer Wireless-N 1202 Network Adapter card. it is connected with the 5ghz wifi and all my other devices are also using 5ghz
1. Connected my USB 3.0 HDD and moved some 1080p movies there, i get stream speeds of around 11 Mbps max
2. Installed Plex and streamed from my android device(note 4) again max around 11 Mbps
3. Used moonlight for streaming PC games, cant really find out the band width but games aren't playable
4. Copy pasted few movies between my PC and surface pro 3, i get only 5 mbps max
Note that i find out the stream speeds using my android device (bandiwdth meter in status bar and NetSpeedMonitor in PC)
Is my setup wrong, how in the world can i get good speeds and what is a more accurate way to measure the WLAN speeds , even my earlier router was giving almost similar speeds, i feel like i wasted so much money on this useless router
Issue 2
Network coverage, it was advertised as if this router covers a entire house both the ground floor and the first floor, my house just has one floor and this thing cant even cover the entire house .. huff (i am so angry at it , i want to just throw it in the garbage bin)
Please help me out guys , how can i get good WLAN speeds and good coverage ???
