Really Slow Speeds
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
So I picked up the M5 in hopes of improving my WiFi signal throughout the house. However, after setting it up, I have had nothing but headaches.
1. Setup as Access Point
After setting it up as an access point, everything looked good. However, when I was testing the speeds with my laptop, I was definitely disappointed. When I was connected to the 5Ghz WiFi of my router (HITRON CODA-4582u), I was able to get over 400Mbps. So I disconnect then connect to the M5 and it goes down to 30Mbps which is a huge difference. No matter what device I use, I can't get the speed to improve.
2. Setup as Router
So I decided to turn on Bridge mode on my Router and setup the M5 in Router mode. When I do a speed test using the app, it goes between 40Mbps and 80Mbps. I have a gigabit internet and can easily hit around 900Mbps with the Hitron. And also, I still can't get any wireless device to be able to go more than 30Mbps.
I have turned off the Anti-Virus, changed my router to 192.168.10.1 based on various threads I have read here. This is definitely quite frustrating.
