There's 99% chance that I don't have a correct configuration applied so that's why I'm asking for help.
The facts:
Now, here are the problems:
Can any of you help? I feel dissapointed because I have better performance from my old cheapo 30$ tplink with ddwrt this 200$ router is replacing...
The facts:
- ISP 100mb down/ 10mb up pppoe vlan 6 (you guessed it, Movistar Spain)
- Windows 7 laptop fresh install, AC7260 wlan card (with preferred 5ghz band in advanced settings) with latest drivers, 8gb ram, SSD, i7.
- Asus AC68U with latest Merlin installed and overclocked to 1200/800
- WD 2TB usb3.0 drive attached to router (obviously in 3.0 port)
- QoS enabled
- There are NO other 5ghz networks around, but plenty of 2.4ghz ones
Now, here are the problems:
- cant get more than 30mb down in ANY part of my house (not even 10ft away in direct line of sight, barely 35mb, tested with speedtest). I do get 105mb down with rj45. And to be fair, I have excellent latency on wifi.
- all sharing options turned off except samba so I can mount my drive as a network drive, cant write or read at more than 2mb/s (some times I get 20, but thats on a rare occasion), always tested with the same 300mb file, ntfs filesystem
- I have no idea how to configure the router so I can take advantage of my download speeds and use my hdd as a network drive in a way that i dont feel like Im working with floppy a drive (igmp snooping? rts? preamble?, wmm? what are those?? I know my way around computers PRETTY well, but im lost when it comes to networking)
Can any of you help? I feel dissapointed because I have better performance from my old cheapo 30$ tplink with ddwrt this 200$ router is replacing...
