Been a browser here for quite some time....always getting good information on setup and troubleshooting ASUS systems. I've recently upgraded my system and while Ethernet speeds are great, Wifi leaves much to be desired.
I followed @OzarkEdge 's post almost verbatim during setup.
Xfinity gigabit service
Motorola MB8600 modem
AC86U main router
AC68U AIMesh node via 5e Ethernet
AC68U AIMesh node via 5e Ethernet
2.4 and 5 are on separate SSIDs.
Firmware is current after resetting all routers to factory settings. Again, I followed OzarkEdge's post for most of the setup so won't get detailed on what's already been done.
Standing 5' from the AC86U I can't get anything more than 250Mbps on 5Ghz with any device (iPhone XR etc.)
Ethernet on all clients reaches 940Mbps+.
AIMesh is working fine and I don't have any dropout issues.
I've tried multiple channels using inSSIDer along with many other suggestions from other threads about optimizing Wifi Professional settings.
Anything simple I'm missing? Thanks!
