I'm wondering if anyone else has an answer to this as my family wants me to replace the router and I've found little solutions .
I have an RT-AC3100 Router running the stock (and updated firmware). It has about 15 2.4 devices (mostly light bulbs), 10 5ghz devices connected and about 10 hard wired devices that are all on downstream switches. Nothing but the cable modem and one cat to a switch is connected to the Asus device. For the most part, everything works on it just fine except when using the Microsoft store.
A game(s) start downloading from the hardwired PC or the Xbox One X and the router dies.
2.4 stops accepting connections and sometimes stops broadcasting
5ghz takes connections but can't get through the DHCP.
GUI is completely unresponsive and never loads
-If it loads, each page click takes over a minute to load anything and shows the devices are using bandwidth (and less then my purchased speed for some reason).
All connected devices start timing out on web requests.
The family gets mad at me demanding the offending device be turned off.
Thinks I've tried that have had no change:
Master reset the device
put the devices on WiFi to try and slow them down.
Disabled QOS on the router
Set the devices to lowest QOS and everything else high
Disabled app analysis on the router
Disabled CPU NAT on the router
Turned off the radios and connected an extra AP - this fixed the wifi part but there is still no internet (no DHCP on either band now).
Disabled the network transfer on the xbox that allows xb0x to xbox game transfers.
Set bandwidth limits on the device - this works for the most part but the speed limit is 1/5th of the stated speed to keep things working. With Xbox Game Pass Ulitmate, I really need my purchased speed before my subscription expires. It also hurts the actual devices when I need to stream something.
No other devices kill the device like this and my house thinks everything comes over the internet. My internet speed is 60 tier xfinity. For another project, I bought the cheapest router I can find (Archer C20) and decided to just throw it on the main line and assumed it would also be failing. Besides the GUI slowing down, it's stable and offering faster downloads than the higher priced Asus model.
The one thing I found that hit's both in performance is OpenDNS setup and I've not turned off the Trend Micro scanning yet. I'll try it when move the Archer.
Anyone else seeing this on Asus routers? Any other ideas that I've not tried yet? I'd like to keep the device but have too many cranky teenagers when the rest isn't working.
