Upgraded to 1gig and not getting close

Hi, 

I upgraded my Internet today using the hub 4 in modem mode and using asus zenwfif xt8 as mesh (one upstairs which is main one, other is upstairs) I'm using cat 8 cables through out the house. I'm getting between 300 and 400 mbps. 

 

Cheers

You could downgrade if VM network for your area can't deliver.

I have doubt if you go to router mode and run "RealSpeed" that you get 1Gb to the hub

Can you connect an ethernet device to the primary Asus unit, and see what speed that gives?  Should show if the problem is purely wifi, or something between the hub and the Asus.

So just did this and I'm getting lower speeds than over wifi

I thought samknows Realspeed does not work in modem mode as the OP states this is how he is running the Hub ?

I changed it to router mode and connected one device

Good move.  Sounds like its the broadband, not the Asus.

Pull up the log in page for the hub.  But don't log in, just click on the link "Check router status"  That'll bring up a window with five tabs.  Open the Downstream tab.  Select all the text (Ctrl-A if using a keyboard), copy it (Ctrl-C), then paste it (Ctrl-V) into a reply here as TEXT not screenshots.  Post that, do the same for the Upstream and Network log.  You'll get an error message when you post the Network log, just click on "post" a second time.

There's a few foibles - Hub 4 sometimes doesn't report error counts properly, and if it is to do so then ideally needs to have run for 12-24 hours since changing mode or restarting.  But we could take a look now for obvious problems with power or noise levels.
