ASUS Router configured as Access Point... wifi extremely slow??

[Genesis1982]

I'll explain my situation to you first; I have a modem from my ISP (FRITZ!Box) on the ground floor, I have an ASUS RT-AX88U router on the first floor for a few days and have now got everything working.
I have set the router as an access point, and it works fine.

 

• However... I notice that the speed of my Wifi is 5x slower than my old Apple router!
How can I adjust this so that I get normal WiFi speed again?

Might be getting interference. Try switching the number (oh hel, I cant think)

Channel number I meant, now I have my brain back..

And how is this AP wired to your network.. If it was connecting at only say 100mbps via its wire, then yeah would be much slower than your typical AC or AX connection..

Are you connecting to it via the 2.4 or 5GHz band? What is the channel width?

Depends on distance, endpoint equipment, if your ethernet cables are good, whether or not you're actually using AC or AX, etc.  You're not giving us much detail to work with here.
