Wonder if anyone is experiencing what I am experiencing.

Was on 30Mbps line for a few months. All was ok. Fast.com which is direct connection to netflix server was showing me download speeds of 25Mpbs and usenet downloads would easily max out to 30Mbps. All this with the unifi router DIR-850L.

I upgraded to 100Mbps and the problems started. 1st couple of days easily got 50-70Mbps in Fast.com and usenet downloads were close to 80Mbps. Then during Raya all went crazy. TM speedtests that were 100Mpbs dropped to 85Mpbs and now usenet downloads seem to slow down to not more than 28Mbps. This even after numerous resets.

Lodged a complaint and they sent someone over. Turned out the router was the problem. The reconfigured at their side and with old Dlink 850L max we could get was 85Mbps and when he changed to RGX4400 speeds were back to about 95Mpbs on the TM Speedtests and usenet speeds at least went back to 75 or so Mbps. All these were always via LAN.

The RGX4400 has a major problem with wifi. Its not range but it seems to buffer via wifi before opening any sites even via 5GHz and 3 ft from router. And now usenet speeds hv dropped back to 25Mpbs.

Is this common?

I am contemplating changing the router to ASUS AC68U so I believe the wifi issue will be solved but has anyone else seen throttling on Netflix fast.com with 100Mpbs. I was getting better speeds via 30Mbps. And I do know that if I use a VPN speeds on fast.com do go up but sometimes only to 50Mpbs. However, usenet speeds do not really improve.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

For any kind soul on unifi 100Mbps..would it be possible to try speedtest to this site..

Netflix speedtest

This is netflix speedtest and it's only download speedtest. Curious what speeds other unifi owners get on a 100Mbps line.

On unifi 100Mbps I get average about 55-70Mbps. This is via LAN. Just wondering how the speed varies for sites out of malaysia.

For TM speedtest I get about 94Mbps consistently. Short ping times as well.

On a 5Mbps Unifi I get 3.3Mbps while normal speedtest is 4.91Mbps.

Thanks for confirming.
