Slow WiFi
Posted: Tue Dec 31, 2019 4:08 pm
Hi all,
I recently purchased a MikroTik RB3011UIAS-RM router (my first MikroTik device) to replace a Ubiquiti USG-3P that I had installed on my network. I replaced the Ubiquiti device after only a few days when I learned that to use queues and other functions, you had to limit your throughput to an unacceptable rate (My internet is 200/20 D/U).
I still have some Ubiquiti Unifi AP-AC-LRs installed in my network, as I was happy with the performance of these devices. However, since removing the USG and installing the MikroTik device, speedtests (speedtest.net app) on mobile WiFi clients has been greatly reduced. Previously, I was able to achieve 200/20 almost every time, whereas now, it ranges anywhere between 40-100 on the same clients. Wired clients achieve between 150-200/20 on average.
I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas about this? I don't believe that WiFi clients should be experiencing speed issues due to swapping out a router, when the WiFi access points they are connecting to have not changed at all.
To my knowledge, my MikroTik configuration is fairly default. FastTrack rules didn't seem to be enabled at first, so I used the terminal commands from the MikroTik website to enable these, but this didn't seem to change anything. Other than that, the only things that I am aware I have changed are some port forwarding rules to my Windows Server for Plex and HTTP(S) along with enabling L2TP IPSEC VPN on the MikroTik device.
I appreciate any help or information that can be provided regarding this.
