Suddenly AX50 dropped speed

Tags: #Access Point Mode

Model: Archer AX50

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 20220526-rel63519]_sign_2022-05-27_08.55.42

During the past 3 years+ I have used my AX50 as router along with my Huawei ONT EG8145V5 (ISP supplied). Everything worked just fine but recently the speed dropped form 500+MBps to as low as 160MBps. I oppened a Ticket asking my ISP what was going on. They responded everything is OK at their side. After checking and rechecking all the AX50 params I activated the Access Point mode and voila! The 500+Mbps speed is back. Set the AX50 back to router mode and the speed dropped again.

How can this happen? Is the AX50 going to die soon perhaps?

Hi, please connect a computer to the Huawei ONT EG8145V5 directly and test the speed, then connect the same computer to AX50 router via Ethernet cable and test speed again.

If the wired connection speed are normal with the ONT and also the AX50 router, but 5GHz WiFi speed still slow, please try changing wireless channel and channel width to see if it can be improved.

Hi, I always test the internet speed using Ethernet from my desktop.

The speed at the ONT LAN port is perfect as is in the AX50 LAN port configured as Access Point. The problem is in the AX50 configured as router.
