ASU’s XT12 slow wifi via direct ONT link

[Nick-1978]

Hi,

I've replaced the Sky router with an Asus XT12 unit. However, despite having set the DHCP settings to option 61, and including 'anything@skydsl|anything', I can connect but only get slow speeds. I've got 500mbps via Sky router, but only 150 via Asus.

is there something in the settings that might cause this?

do I need to include my MAC address?

should I enable IPv6?

im totally lost! 

@mae-3 Any ideas?

Sometimes its the qos settings. Try turning qos off if its enabled

I'd set up DHCPv6 PD as well, change the WAN ethernet cable going to ONT and turn off QoS for maximum speed. Ensure you set up the wireless to avoid channel 36 on 5Ghz, eg: use channel 100 DFS or do a scan of the airwaves to establish a free channel on 5Ghz with a wireless analysis program.

Thanks for the advice! Will report back shortly!

Hi @mae-3 

finally getting chance to sort this... should my ipv6 be native, static or pass through? 

thanks!

IPv6 should be native to DHCPv6 PD.
