Hi - I am using an ASUS GT-BE98 with we 1.6gbps service plugged directly into the ONT. First couple of months was getting 1.6gbps+ into the router, but now it’s suddenly dropped to 850mbps. If I plug in the EE Smart Hub Plus it registers as 1.6gbps+.
Any experiences of this happening suddenly to their own non EE routers?

I enabled a guest network with a bandwidth limiter on it. After that it seems to have lowered the speed the router sees through its internal speed check. The speed is back to 1.6gbps now I removed the bandwidth limiter from the guest network and QOS. These new firmwares on these new ASUS routers seem to always have small bugs in them.

@nv0381 So what has happened to the router, did you per chance update to new FW that became available last week?

@nv0381 Glad you found your problem, would be surprised if the Guest network would have had anything to do with it in the slightest but your QOS setting's certainly would. Router is always at full speed, just how it distributes and reports that speed so it would be correct parking away what is needed in reserve.
