I have 50 mbps and tests usually come up with that speed most of the time . I have an rt ac 88 u wired to an arris Modem running merlin,of course,now every now and then the speed drops to around 8 or 9 mbps but if I disconnect the wan cable from either the router or modem then plug it straight in again it goes back to 50 mbps straight away.
The cable I am using is cat 7 and it's a 10 meter cable as the router is in the lounge room and the gateway is in the bedroom.
Why does this happen,I mean it's not much of a problem as it may only happen once a week to once a month but I am just curious as to what's going on here.??? I am in Australia so we have nbn if that makes any difference.
