Model: Archer AX53  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.2 Build 20221019 rel.33889(4555)

Just set up this AX53 and the 5G wifi speeds are markedly slower than my old AC router

 

wired speeds:

 

wireless:

 

all wifi clients suffer from approx the same speed - 3-400 mbps. have tested with 2 other laptops and 2 phones, all support wifi 6.

 

devices are tested approx 1 foot away from router. nothing is causing interference or using the connection. 2.4 and 5 ghz SSIDs are split, devices are connected to the correct network

 

channel widths are all max, open channels are being used. nothing changes if i disable ax.

 

previous router (virgin superhub 4) was getting approx 800 mbps wifi throughput under the same circumstances

 

is there anything i'm missing or this router fundamentally bad?

Try setting the 5GHz band wireless channel to 36 and test again. Here's a story on how to set your wireless router to work with 160 MHz channel width.
