Hi there,
most recent software is running. Router is connected via 5G German telekom, Router internal speed test shows about 150mbps download, whereas speedtest on a connected Iphone or computer shows between 12 and 17 mbps.
Any idea?
Cheers

Hello,

Could you please confirm whether this speed difference is only noticeable when connecting via WLAN (wireless LAN)? I assume the same issue doesn’t occur when a computer is connected to the router via Ethernet (wired LAN)?

Additionally, could you kindly review the following points on your setup:

  1. Ensure that both WiFi antennas are securely attached to the router;
  2. If the connected devices (iPhone, computer) are located at a distance from the router, it’s recommended to use the 2.4 GHz WiFi band, as it offers better stability and penetration through walls;
  3. If the area around your router has a high number of surrounding wireless networks, it might help to manually select a less congested channel for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi bands. You can do this via Network → Wireless → Radio settings in the WebUI.
    To find the most optimal channels, you can also use the Channel Analysis feature available under Status → Wireless → Channel Analysis on the router.

Best regards,

  1. done, using high quality antennas
  2. closeby, both frequencies showing limitations
  3. sub urban, not really a lot disturbing
    didn’t try LAN yet

a bit slower I would understand, but delivering only 10% of the router internal speedtest is not acceptable

Hello,

Apologies for the delay. I just wanted to check whether the initial issue was resolved in the meantime.

If not, could you please confirm what power supply you’re currently using, especially the wattage? Make sure it’s 18 W.

Additionally, please check under Network → Wireless → Radio settings for both bands Transmit power is set to 100 % and for testing purposes, select the Country code to match your location.

Let me know how it goes or if further assistance is needed.

Best regards,
