If your wireless router is branded, it does not affect much (within range of course). ISP routing affect ping more. Local device won't.

I've bought this router, but the wifi speed 5Ghz is not meet my expectations. My unifi speed 800mbps plan. With the LAN cable , I'm able to get 800mbps solid, but through wifi just manage to get 300-450mbps testing close to the router. There 20++ IOT devices connect to the router. I have disable smart connect and enable adaptive Qos. But the speed still same. Run the 5Ghz signal to 160hz frequency & play around with channel result the same thing. Hmmmm....so I'm not sure which settings should I change in order to get better speed. Appreciate if someone can help.

Are you still using free unifi router? Your link speed is 865M only. Should be 2.4G on your G15.

Nope, my BTU directly connect to the router TUF-AX6000. Refer the speed test and the network speed shown. It's connect 5Ghz network not 2.4Ghz.

You are getting 2.2G link speed now. So connection is okay but the speed is not. Please check with ASUS support in this case. It should get max speed 800M when close to router. FYI, I didn't change any settings on the wireless router.

Thanks for the reply. I have submit feedback form from asus router page. I felt this router overclaimed the performance, maybe I should go for rog rapture series instead of tuf series.
