Hi guys, I am glad i found this thread. I am on ASUS RT-AC55UHP at the moment. I have been turbo-ed to 500mbps but I am only getting 280mbps at most with LAN (and yeap all cables that I'm using are CAT5e or 6). On 5G, I am only getting 200 mbps at most, usually 180mbps.

I called up TM, they came with their dlink ac1200 router, boom 500mbps on mobile! 522mbps on LAN. It blew my mind.

So yeah I was dumbfounded. What possibly went wrong? I checked my router config, nothing unusual.

Somebody please save my ass lol

thanks for the link. apparently the latest firmware version is not working. I tried updating the firmware using the latest file but it kept showing error error error so i tried the october version, it did work...turn off/on router and ran unifi speediest again, speed is still the same.

please advice

yes bro i did that, but the latest firmware gave me error so i tried the october version, updated successfully but speed still remains the same

Well TM came yesterday with their own DLink ac1200 router, got 522mbps on LAN and 500mbps on WiFi .

Noobie here,

My house has 2 floors with around 23-30 devices connected most of the time. Unifi package is 500mbps. However, the speed is capped at max 280-29x Mbps with LAN. Currently using 7 year old router ASUS RT-AC55HP.

Other bigger issues are:
1. some users experience super slow internet (as low as 3mbps) or keep disconnecting despite connected to 2.4ghz.

2. Certain areas also have very poor connection or completely no signal (example: washroom upstairs).

Help me! I am prepared to upgrade or buy new equipments if necessary (but no need so high end la), just want future proof for the next 5-7 years if possible?

Giving it a push again:

Any suggestions? I need a new router and mesh, few members recommended RT-AC86U & TUF-AX3000 (For wifi-6) however I don't think its necessary for my usage.

I found other models such as RT-AX55 but I will probably need mesh for second floor. Any recommendation? ZenWIfi XT8 is out of question as it's not within my budget.

I also found RTAC59U (which comes with 2 units), should I go for that one? (cost effective)

Current firmware: 3.0.0.4.382_52236-ga0f880d

Hey guys, i am looking for a new router

House type: Landed
Size of house: 22x75 (Double storey)
Features required: Antivirus, QoS, Bandwidth Limiter, VPN

Number of devices connected to WiFi: 20-30 on average + 1 LAN
- Around 12 of them being smart bulbs
- The rest are mostly phones, tv, laptops, printer
- Around 7 devices are connected to 5ghz and the rest are 2.4ghz

Internet Speed: 800mbps
Budget: preferably RM500 (may consider higher budget or get used)
ISP: TM Unifi

Current router: ASUS RT-AX55

Current concerns:
1. Unable to hit 500mbps even with LAN
2. Wifi usually around 200-300mbps
3. Poor coverage especially on second floor

4. Game high ping after the game server shifted from SG to HK, my ping went from 20-30ms to 110-170ms while my friend who is on TIME 200mbps plan, went from 20ms to 50ms with 6 devices connected. Another friend who is on the same Unfii plan as mine able to hit 50-70ms + better router with 10 connected devices. Both live in condo.

Apparently I am the only one with such poor ping. While it makes to have slower internet due to the amount of devices connected, it is my first time seeing such a huge disparity in ping. I am not sure if this is related to router limitation or related to the routing optimisation in my area.

Please advice! Also let me know if getting Wifi 7 router is a good idea for my usage and budget!

Thanks!

Ok ill look into the router. Also, may I know what does trying different IP range mean? I can probably do it by myself if you guys can point me to the guide, just to be sure of what i am looking it.

Thanks!

Mine starts with 176.136.xx.xxx
I have restarted my router many times though, i am still getting the same result. Am I supposed to unplug instead of power off or reboot via APP/GUI?
