Disappointing WiFi Speeds on Alien
-
I wanted to see if anyone else was having the same speed issues with the Alien as the Amplify HD Gamer Edition had with Comcast Gigabit internet. I can get 980 Mbps off the router wired but as soon as I test WiFi using speed of.me or speedtest (web and app) my speed drops to 380-410 Mbps. Using a Netgear XR500 I get 600-800 Mbps using the same devices iPhone XS, iPad Pro, MSI WiFi 5 laptop, and a WiFi 6 desktop using an asus x570 mobo. Ironic enough I had the same issue with a Amplify HD even after the NAT option was turned off. I like the form factor of the Alien but can not justify getting half the speed of a last gen router. Hoping someone else has been able to fix this issue.

@john-eastman Speeds will be almost doubled when they turn on 160mhz. Just be patient.

@timothy-farley can you give me more info on this? I assume it's some new feature they will be enabling but haven't heard about it.

Just got my alien router and I'm seeing the same issue as well.

@vincent-ngo Can you elaborate on what issues you are seeing? Who your ISP is, what speeds they are providing, what you get from Alien wired and wireless? What speed tests are you using?

@ui-brett I have FiOS gigabit and get 800/900 wired using the router internet speed test. wireless im getting around 300-350 down/300 up with an iPhone 11 Pro max. i get similar speeds using my laptop with an intel ax200 wifi card.
