I have an RB4011iGS+ and am having some odd performance issues.

I have 4 ASUS Zen AX access points connected to my router via wired links. My internet is 910mb FTTP. Perform a Internet speed test over Wi-Fi I Can get Up to 770mbs which isn’t bad (I have to borrow a modern phone from a friend to get 770mbs) - mine only gets 450mbps.

Over a cable to a laptop weirdly its much slower. What is even more strange is if I connect directly to the router it’s very slow (100mbs ish) connect an ASUS access point into the same socket and plug the laptop into the back of the ASUS access point it is 3 x faster (at least). How can this be! It appears that going via an access point Into the same socket is quicker than going direct through the router. Both are auto negotiating at 1gb full duplex

Any ideas

I am still having this issue, please can some one help me? It is very frustrating! Is there any more information that would be useful to post?

Use a LAN speedtest software (i think totusoft is an example) and test your lan speed. Not the internet. You will need 2 PCs/laptops for that. Test PC-Router-PC, PC-Router-Asus-PC and PC-Router-Asus-WirelessPC. Repeat the first test by using 2 different scenarios. Connect both PCs on ports 1-5 or 6-10. Then repeat and connect each PC on different range. The 1st on 1-5 and the 2nd on 6-10. Share results

Hey guys

Just an update, I replaced my Network Card and my problems went away! Was using a ms surface dock Ethernet adapter. plugged in a 2.5GB USB Ethernet adapter (into a 1GB Ethernet port on the MikroTik) auto negotiated at 1GB and I am getting the full 916mb down!
