Model: Archer AX73  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1.2 Build 20250210 rel.53421(5553)

I am having the darndest time figuring out the right settings for Max Wi-Fi.

I have 1Gbps service, and for a minute I was getting 900Mbps Wi-Fi after installing.  I changed nothing at all and now I am only getting 500s Mbps.

My devices are all 1 gig capable so ????   Right Settings to return to the 900+ Mbps?

Also, I have a hardwired connection (ethernet) into my PC desktop.  Also 1Gbps capable.  I can't get more than 500s Mbps with a hardwired connection (Cat8 Shielded 25 foot cable) 

I have checked my cable's continuity and it is fine, so it is not the cable.

Any advice?  Suggestions?  Help?

Thank you in advance.

PPS - This is brand new out of the box, bought yesterday (April 3rd, 2025)

Then most probably the QoS settings in your case are under HomeShield menu.

Hey there, welcome to the community!

 

That's definitely odd for a wired, gigabit-capable device. And it looks like your firmware is fully up to date.

 

Have you checked to see whether QoS has been enabled? You can find it under Advanced → QoS in the router's web UI. If so, disable it and see if things improve.

  @Ryan 

Thank you for your response.

So checking for QoS in both the Router URL and Teather, I do not see QoS anywhere under advanced settings.

I did a search for QoS on the Router UI and the only thing that came up was the Router Log.

Is it possible this is hiding somewhere else?

  @ArcherC8 
It is no where in the ADvanced settings under any of the tabs on the left.  

I have checked each one on Both Teather and the Web based URL UI.

?????????????????????

Try another browser for accessing the router WenGUI QoS menu:

Regarding your original issue, you may also check the negotiated speeds on your AX73 ethernet ports.
