Hey all,

Just purchased this router today from Costco, and unless I can fix this tonight it will be going back tomorrow.

I currently have a 1gig line (speed test confirmed 954Mbps). Once I connect it to this router on the 2.4ghz band I am not seeing anything past 180-190Mbps. On the 5ghz band I'm getting better speeds ~600Mbps.

I've searched and tried every suggestion on this forum:

• manually setting the QoS values since the integrated speed test is faulty
• selected certain channels and frequencies for the 2.4ghz band (1/6/11, 40mhz)
• rebooted the router
• rebooted the modem
• factory restored the router

Unfortunately I cannot roll back the firmware after the latest update.

I am seeing very similar complaints on amazon / costco reviews / this forum.

Is there an inherent flaw in this router or am I grossly overlooking something? I feel like I've taken all the normal steps to troubleshoot and unfortunately I think the router is just problematic?

Either way, hopefully I can find a resolution to this or gather more intel for future users... but as of now I am out of ideas.
Appreciate any insight or advice.
