Guys I just got gigabit two days ago and my download speeds are insane cabled over ethernet but my wifi is capped at 80-90MBps, you reckon it's the latest firmware causing it?

The faster the speed the more strain will be added to the internal processor. What I did fist was:

reset the router through the pin hole on the router (Not through the web interface). This helped allot.
Make sure you are using the 5Ghz bands
Turn off AI Protection (This can consume a lot of processing power)
Turn of all USB features
Turn off all logging and monitoring (Including all QoS monitoring)
Set QoS to adaptive and the Bandwidth setting (Up and Down speed) to double your internet speed which is 2048
Turn off IPv6
Set a the router to use a fast and reliable DNS server
Under game acceleration, click on "Gear Accelerator" and enable it and add all your important devices
assign manual IP addresses to all devices connected
Turn off DDNS if you want to save more processing resources
Turn off all AI Cloud Features
If you have a Mesh network then make sure all Mesh devices support Gigabit speeds
In WiFi settings, do not use "Smart Connect"
For the 5Ghz networks channels I use Auto for 5Ghz 1 and channel 161 for 5Ghz 2
make sure all bands have different SSIDs
Disable Airtime Fairness on your important bands (or turn off for all bands)
Turn off Roaming Assistant in advanced Wifi settings of each band if you are not using a Mesh network
For WiFi channel bandwidth use 80Mhz for both 5Ghz bands
Turn off WPS
Don't use a Guest network if you don't have to

After you set all settings you need to turn off your router and modem. Then turn your modem on and wait 3 minute. Then turn your router on and wat 3 minute, then turn your PC (or reconnect mobile device) on and check your speeds. The point behind this post is to give the internal processors as much resources as it can have for Gigabit WiFi speeds.

Also the new firmware uses Ookla to check up and down speeds. Do a speed test using the built-in speed test.

Thanks Jesseinsf,

OK I've switched to the 5GHz WiFi and I'm now getting over 300MBps down which is good, I think the 2.4GHz is limited anyway

Another problem, my LetsEncrypt Cert is stuck even on this build ironically that says they've fixed the LetsEncrypt Cert Bug where the status is stuck on Authorizing, any help?

Thanks

I had to delete and request a new certificate in order for it to work.

How did you delete it?

I click "None" and the Apply, then I click "Free Certificate from Let's Encrypt" then click apply again. It's either this or a factory reset.

Sometimes you have to do a factory reset when going from one big version to another (384 to 386). When I say factory reset, I don't mean the the GUI, I mean by pushing the reset button on the back of the router.

hey, thanks for help. Is it sure that reset helps, I mean is it tested?
