Just got me an Asus DSL-N66U modem/router from PC World to replace my homehub 5 which keeps disconnecting due to a firmware issue.
Well got it onto net withing few minutes no problem .
Issue is - when on 5ghz wifi im getting around 10mb lower speeds compared to lan connection ....tried every setting you can think of but still same , moved router to another position and tried different firmware ...stil no different .
Says connect at 300mps and testing next to router .
On 2.4ghz on same pc or even a different pc im getting 20mb...tried all settings again still no different and connected at 300mbps .
Hardwired into lan im get a constant 52mb download ...2.4ghz im getting around 32mb download , 5ghz around 42mb ....upload speed on both is same as lan connection .
Been onto PC World to see about refund and they said if its been opened then cannot have back ...they need to test it but as far as im concerned its not fit for purpus !!
Soon as go back to my BT Homehub 5 ...wifi speeds are fine , no different to lan connecting when next to router !!
Any help most appreciated

As Hinted at in the other thread- the old rule of thumb of pairing chipsets can save a lot of potential headaches
[ECI cab----->ECI Openreach modem -----> Home Hub 5 ( All lantiq)

I have tried the latest official update and the beta one but both same ...i have tried 20mhz and 40mhz on both channels but still no different , basically tried every way possible but still slow throughput .
Basically given up on it now and taking it back , but they say they need to check it to see if faulty and prob wont give me my money back if ok ....but far as im concerned its not fit for purpose !!
I have bt coming out friday to look at my line as having lot of disconnects and speed issues ....even on the openreach modem and plusnet router ....but at mo using hh5 and seems ok , disconnected twice since refitted it lol

Quote from: AndyH Which f/w are you running? Can you post a screenshot of your wireless settings page?
Version numbers? The screenshot Andy asked for would help as well... Also, what encryption type are you using?

Further the bandwidth is shared by packets going in both directions from all devices. Even if you achieved 300mb/s you can't expect to transfer a 300mB file in 8 seconds.
What speeds are you getting? And how are you measuring.
