Home Network Question
I'm not quite sure what's going on with my home network. I'm with Shaw, on the 600 plan and my home network was set up with the Shaw modem in bridge mode, then to a Netgear Nighthawk AC1750 (basement), then to a gigabit switch (basement), then to an Asus RT-AC86U which has been running the wifi in my house.
I would get into a state every few days where my wifi would connect but be without internet. With the Netgear router in the basement, on the same power bar as the modem, I would reset both by turning on and off the power bar. The internet would come back. I never got very good speeds, around 100mbps on wireless and say 225mbps on hardwired through the Asus router (upstairs).
I called Shaw a couple days ago and they blamed the 3rd party router and said everything would be great if I used the Shaw router and if they put it into unbridged mode. Fair enough, so essentially this cuts the Netgear router out, and now on my hardwired connections I get 600mbps. On my wifi I get around 65mbps on my Asus wifi. UNTIL I log into the Shaw wifi, now getting up to 150mbps, and then re-logging into the Asus one, its showing up to 600mbps! Why is that? Why do I have to log into the Shaw one, then back into the Asus one to get good wireless speeds? Its driving me crazy! These speeds are from both fast.com and shaw speedtest.
