I have a new RT-AX86U. I recently upgraded to 2.3GB line and my internet router (will call it router) has a 2.5GB port. I use RT-AX86U as my main router with its WAN connected to the 2.5GB LAN port of my internet router (and have disabled the WLAN for that). Issue is that when I use the 1GB LAN of the router to AX86, I get almost 950MB on the wireless. BUT if I connect the 2.5GB port to the 2.5GB port of the AX86U, I get 750MB max on same wireless. Doing the Internet speed testing from the menu within the AX86U gives me almost 2GB speed . BUT wireless of AX86U is not exceeding 750MB.
What can be the issue. Have done multiple hard resets and have used stock and latest merlin as well. Same repeatable speed. Have tried multiple channels but same. Its as if the ASUS router internal connection to the 2.5GB WAN is slower than the 1GB WAN. A fun thing that I tried that helped is to use DUAL WAN and then use failover to 1GB WA. In that case I get 1GB right away. Why would internal internet speed test of the AX86U see the 2.5GB speed and the wireless of the same router not see it?
