XT8 Ethernet and Wireless Speeds Slow(ish)

[ed5275]

Wanted to sign in here and see if anyone can help with this. I have the XT8. Main is on my desk right in front of me here, satellite on the first floor. Here in my office I have as much connected via ethernet as possible. I have been hitting a speed issue that is driving me nuts. I have Gig internet thru Comcast (Arris S33 modem). Plugged in or wireless, speeds are capping out between 280-400 Mbps. Speed test on the Asus app shows the router getting 800+ download speeds, but it just is not translating to other devices. I know wireless will be limited, but my wired devices are all Gig capable. What's odd is the wireless and wired speeds all give the same range of speeds. I have no QOS or security on. I have tried new DNS on my Plex laptop to no avail. I replaced some cables with CAT 6A cables. No change. There has got to be some setting that I am missing. Any ideas are welcome...trying to avoid having to factory reset everything or worse, getting new routers. Thanks in advance.

Think I found it. Will let you know the results. Thanks!

Edit: This appears to have significantly helped the wireless, but the wired is still getting the slower speeds. Progress! Any other tips/things to check?

did you reboot the router a few times ?
You likely will have to hard reset and manually reconfigure ( don't load a saved config).

I was hoping to avoid that. I'll have to wait til the weekend and give a factory reset a shot.

make sure all the LAN ports are showing 1Gbit link speed as well.

Oddly, on the app, one port is showing 100Mbps (why?). I switched my laptop to one that is showing 1Gbps and my speed test got similar results as before.

what is plugged into it ?
Check what that device thinks the link speed is. A TV or DVR could easily be a 100Mbit/s interface.

It was my laptop (which is 1Gbps). I switched them and now my HD Homerun lives on that port, still shows 100Mbps. I thought it might change but stayed the same. I feel a factory reset is going to have to become a reality.

My HDHomeRun HDHR3-US is only 100Mbps.

A Gigabit Ethernet connection in power save/sleep mode will report 100Mbps until you wake things up.

Deficient Ethernet cables/connections can fall back to 100Mbps.
