Hi guys, need some advice for the setting of GT-AC5300. Currently I'm using Unifi 800Mb.

Router Firware version : 3.0.0.4.384_81974-gb2967e4
Cable used from Modem to Router : Cat 7

I've tested the the internet speed using LAN cable directly with my laptop and manage to obtain full Download and Upload speed.

However when I tried to speedtest using my device as below :

1. Laptop with Wirelss AC-9560 160mhz
2. Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus

In 5Ghz mode, the fastest speed I can get is,

1. If stand directly in front of the router, max is D : 140~150Mbps U : 100Mbps.

2. On 2nd floor, D : 100~110Mbps U : 60~70Mbps only.


Previously before few firmware updates, if standing in front of the router to test with the same devices, can easily hit appx D : 500Mbps and 2nd floor can get ard D : 250~300Mbps...

Hopefully some experts here can enlighten me with a better setting for this GT-AC5300 so that I can fully optimize the speed and performance of this great router with my Unifi 800Mb~

Million thanks in advance~

Set the 5GHz band to 80MHz like the screenshot below

I always get 600Mb/s on my devices. Even behind a brick wall & about 30 meters away from the router

Merlin doesn't support GT models

After set it, do I need to restart the router?

Not really but it's always a good idea to restart your router after you change some major settings
Remember to set the 80MHz only on 5GHz-1. Leave 5GHz-2 on 40MHz

The reason is because some older devices may not support 80MHz

Alright, thanks for the suggestion~

Btw, which 5GHz is the gaming mode ya? 1 or 2?
