first update the firmware virsion to
3.0.0.4.380_8375
then reset the router using reset button on the back
you need pen for this
press and hold that reset button for 15 seconds then let go
after a wile your router must restored to original state
then use your pc and set it up as the quick setup says
after that go to wireless change 2.4 GHZ mode to N only and channel band width to 40 MHZ clic apply and waite for the router to restart
now choos 5 GHZ under wireless and change mode to N/AC mixed channel band width to 80 MHZ
then clic apply
after the router restarts log out of your router
and go to selfcare.actcorp.in
and login from the ISP side
should bee fine
if you want can call or whatsapp me on +917901030507

Hi thanks for detailed response, it has autoupdated few days back to latest firmware xxx.8375.
I have just made other changes too, 5ghz now is on ac/n and 80 MHz


I cleaned it with Colin too, the antenna which did not look dirty though as I had cleaned it just couple of days back, now getting around 80Mbps download and 25Mbps upload, I have 150Mbps up and down.

Personally I think even if the hardware is good, antenna are proabably not good quality, my TP-Link I had outside the house I probably barely cleaned it's antennas and always use to give a stable and sturdy connection. The only reason for leaving TP Link router costing only 1k was it did not go beyond 100Mbps. I was getting around 96Mbps on it over WiFi.

I am having the same router. I can easily max out my 200 Mbps connection over WiFi with this router. What is the cable you are using to connect the Modem to router? Is it Cat 5 or 6? Can you try replacing the cable with the latest Cat 7 one from Amazon. Even after this if you face the issue try getting a replacement from Asus as this router has 3 year warranty.

 

[Anil]

please check the cable which your using if it is the cat 5 call act and they should give you the cat 6

@

before checking the cable change the 5GHZ wireless channel to 36 and test the speed

Act engineer is coming tomorrow, but I don't have any issue over LAN (wired).

I am assuming you were using WR841N..... Please tell, how were you getting 96mbps on 802.11n?

The best I got was 68.8mbps, that also putting my phone next to router antenna.

Pic not uploading on imhur
changed channel to 32 increased download speeds to 94.2 Mbps but upload is still stuck 25Mbps

now check if it is cat 5 or cat 6
