I have an Asus RT-AC66R set up as my Router connected to a Motorola Arris Surfboard SB6141 (fast cable modem).
I have slow WiFi performance when trying to surf the net, youtube videos or updating apps on my android or iphone connected to my WiFi network. I do not have any devices consuming my bandwidth. I have the fastest speed offered by Brighthouse. I have a total of 17 to 20 devices connected to my network. 4 wired, 10 on the 2.4GHz, and 5 on the 5GHz. I usually notice this issue mostly on mobile devices and not on laptops, etc...
It seems like with the fast internet that I have, that I should not have any hesitations when upgrading apps, etc. When I am having problems with my cell phone, I can turn off WiFi and use my cellular data with better performance. Which, makes no sense to me.
I have both the 2.4 GHz and 5Ghz networks in use. And, I've tried connecting to both with the same issues.
I don't think it is a range issue, as I get the same results near and far from the router. I think it may be a setting or just a crappy router. I would be willing to purchase a newer Asus WiFi router. But, I would like to try a few things before I take the plunge.
