Model: Archer BE550  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.1 Build 20250813 rel.27119(4555)

Hello,

 

I am experiencing issues with upload speed when channel width is above 80MHz - it does not matter if it is 5GHz or 6GHz. ISP speed 2Gbps down / 600Mbps up - over ETH obtainable, but my Galaxy S25 has 200-300 Mbps upload. I can get proper upload speed only when I limit channel width to 80MHz. Download speed are as it should be. I tried enabling/disabling TWT, OFDMA+MU-MIMO but it does not help.

Second issue is with MLO - it links with both 5GHz and 6Ghz but actively uses single band - mostly 6GHz.

 

Thank you in advance

Hello @raszei4c ,

Thanks for contacting our community.

 

If you are experiencing upload speed issues at higher channel widths, it may be related to wireless environment interference, device compatibility, or firmware limitations.

Since download speeds are as expected, the issue may be specific to the way certain devices (like your Galaxy S25) handle uplink transmissions at wider channel widths. 

Besides Galaxy S25, have you tested other clients? 

 

For the MLO connection, please keep in mind that current MLO implementations may prioritize a single band based on signal quality and network conditions, and may not always actively use both bands simultaneously for all traffic types.

When you connect to the MLO Network, would you like to use mainly 5Ghz?
