GiG speed issues

[bboncorr1]

I recently upgraded my router to an ASUS AX11000 and modem to a Netgear 2050. Both rate for gig plus connection. I’m using cat8 cables. I’m running the internal speed test on the router itself (I also change servers just in case). I’m only seeing 940 mbps with a 1.2 gbps plan. With over provision I should see 1.5 gbps. I’m also not seeing more than 300-400 mbps on Wi-Fi with my Wi-Fi6 devices when on the 5G connection up close to the router.

any advice on settings or steps I should take.

Don't do that.

Do it from the Netgear or get a 2.5GE adapter to test with.

if I test directly off the modem using a laptop won’t I be limited by the speed of the laptop card.

No if you get a 2.5GE adapter that plugs into the laptop.

I use the 5GE version of the Sabrent for connecting to my server when I need more speed than 1.5gbps over WIFI. It proves to be more bandwidth than the disks in the server can hit.

Inaccurate, limited by the CPU and number of options enabled in firmware. This router has Gigabit LAN ports and no wired client will reach >940Mbps. Wi-Fi performance depends on wireless client capabilities. With typical 80MHz wide channel and 2-stream clients no wireless client will reach Gigabit on Wi-Fi as well. I don't know what do you expect to see, but this is the reality.

 

[Tech Junky]

you expect to see

Magic?

Magic?

11Gbps perhaps, the marketing behind AX11000.

LMAO

client to client not to WAN!!!

It's not magic if you have end to end same speed ports. Hence get the USB adapter and test at the modem.

Didn't know that acronym was still used. That is so "2000"...
