ROG Rapture GT-BE slowed internet speeds since purchase

[Asergaottie]

So, I bought the Rapture GT-BE 98 pro to replace my Nighthawk RS300. Since then, I have noticed a considerable drop off in speed. I use win 11 I have my DNS set in windows and the Asus app for Cloudflare ipv4 at 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 those did not change and using the same cat 6a cables.  So, I am not sure what I did but my speed has decreased, and my ping has gone up. The only thing I have changed on my pc was I bought a matching Samsung Odyssey G81SF to match the other one I had to replace an older monitor. The screenshot from 9/9 was with my nighthawk RS300 router installed. The 9/24 was shortly after I got the ROG router and noticed some differences.

I've read that the router built in speed test isn't always reliable.  Have you tried on the PC? Or are those test results from the PC already?

[Asergaottie]

That is from speedtest by ookla the app from my pc. I just did this one from cloudfare.

QoS, AiProtection, are they off?  Did you factory reset after latest firmware update?

[Asergaottie]

I turned off QoS and AI Protection in the app and rebooted the router and pc. I do not remember if I had to even do a firmware update when I got it, I am pretty sure the firmware was already 3.0.0.6.102_38984 the current one but I could be wrong. When I turned off the two the speed improved but ping is still higher than my Nighthawk.

Part of the variation may be network traffic related.  Your ping improved at 1:30 am, but increased at 10:45 pm vs 11:24 pm (Netgear baseline).

I might contact Cox too because they were out here doing work I dunno. But my speed slowed down when I got this router. MY Ping went up after the text on 9/24 with the ROG router, when I turned off the QoS and AI the speeds when up so, that is an improvement. Thanks.

Contrary to popular belief fiber is also shared per my understanding.  But it is a lot less sensitive to traffic increases.  I unfortunately do not have service available to me above 1 Gbps, so I have no experience with any issues of the router with higher speeds...
