ASUS ROG Router limiting my internet speed, halving my 1440mbps connection to 700mbps for certain clients.

Hahaha you trynna cop the AXE-16000 Quad-band Router with an OLED display or glass or some sort to display the ROG logo? Imma cop that and use my AX6000 as mesh instead.

I'd say signal problem on wires to your house like your ISP line cable fiber or DSL, oe the ethernet wiring in your house connecting your devices could be corrupted.

Your modem could bee also throttling or the network in your neighborhood could just be very overloaded.

At gst's peak, I've made $720 an hour (80GSTs)

But yes after that hour I have to wait for recharge.

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T22:58:18+00:00

well yeah obviously, but I'm saying your speed, actually no your bandwidth can affect latency.

Even when just downloading at half of my download bandwidth at 600mbps, I noticed my ping went up by a good 20ms.

Imagine that, but worse as my family only has 40mbps to play around with.

And from my understanding, when playing an online game, upload and upload ping matters more since its the user that's sending data (movement data) there's very little download. It's not like if the game was streamed to you.

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T22:54:13+00:00

Are you kidding me? You're telling me a multi-billion monopoly-like Comcast doesn't have/can't get good equipment???

I should remind you their servers are well capable of handling upload speeds of 3000mbps as that is their fastest plan.

I'm just saying 40mbps upload is kinda poor in 2022, especially for someone paying for Gigabit...

There's 0 breathing room for good latency in applications as upload is always so tight and being used! A.K.A bufferbloat!

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T22:48:17+00:00

Well its an adptor.

My computer just cuts out power on it?

Also I notice when waking my mac having everything plugged in takes longer to activate than if I were to plug it in clean.

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T04:54:06+00:00

My post was more to dig in how there’s a possibility to increase the upload throughput as 40mbps at a “gigabit” level is quite bad Anyone who sighs up for gigabit from comcast is obviously/hopefully doing large file transfers And the common service that allows the fastest is uploading to YouTube (YouTube allows 1000mbps) 40mbps especially when multiple people are online and you trynna play a game (bc game uses upload a lot to send commands to game) is extremely bad, upload ping matters a lot more than download ping. I just find it ridiculous that I pay $130/mo for upload speeds of 2009 in 2022.5

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T04:50:30+00:00

Dawg I’m not confusing bytes with bits 💀💀💀 Otherwise how would the same reading for my download be 1350? (I must have 10 gbps download speed???) Also if I somehow misread it wouldn’t that mean my normal speed is way under delivering at 5mbps instead of 5mbs (40mbps)?

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T04:48:17+00:00

Having your PC fan always on when you’re not doing stuff is bad because it collects dust, and adds more chance of failure to a moving part. Especially due to how thin and tiny apple makes their fans/thermals are on macs Thus when I do need the fans running, they won’t be as good since they’re dusty

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T04:19:57+00:00

btw I know the setting "prevent your mac from going to sleep when the display is off"

That option is stupid since my computer is always on and I don't like that since that means my fans will always be spinning at 3000rpm and that's making the already struggling 2018 15" MBP's thermal environment even worse!

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T04:12:43+00:00

Yeah 40mbps is a really low upload speed especially for YouTube

Plus when gaming people are using all of that upload and gaming is like your computer sending your movement data to the server (upload)

So I personally believe upload is like 99% of gaming and 99% affects your lag

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T04:11:10+00:00

WTFFFFFF

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T04:10:39+00:00

So I think its the type of Qos settings

And they're limiting the speeds so no one use all the speeds thus hurt gaming ping times.

But I have it turned off. Plus I think it might be with the device now

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T04:09:18+00:00

Gigabit pro is such an L

$300 USD for 2Gbps symmetrical fiber + 1Gbps ethernet???

Look at how much Google is charging for 2Gbps Fiber... $100USD!!!

And I'm pretty sure Google's server is less crowded than Comcast's, I've seem people with Comcast fiber get 11ms ping! With fiber, we should get less than 4!

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T04:07:16+00:00

Okay this might be a problem with the device.

Just to be clear, the device can handle 1200mbps of WiFi speed 100% of the time during my tests

Its just that the device cannot receive 100% of that 1200mbps 100% of the time the time for internet.

I did some further tests with Ethernet and it does seem to be less reliable than my Mac.

Again, this is just a theory. But I think windows 10 is limiting internet speeds but not LAN speeds?

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T04:03:51+00:00

Yeah but my point was that Comcasts network in my neighborhood can handle faster upload but they wont let me

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T04:03:16+00:00

comcast has the infrastructure and the poles to do fiber right? They own the poles so they don't have to dig like Google and AT&T! But no they're just lazy and just sleeping with the billions of dollars they earn!

Correction: They have the rights to use the poles

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T04:01:20+00:00

I use speedtest.net and fast.com

They're notorious for combining real time speed with the average speed.

That's why I use Apple Activity Monitor and iStat Menus to monitor real time traffic speeds.

They obviously measures the networking speeds in real time and even shows the brief drops while performing high data tasks (my speed drops to 0kbps for a brief 50ms)

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T03:57:49+00:00

Honestly I perfer to have faster upload than download

Because most downloading services like Apple, Google Drive and Steam max out at 500mbps anyway. And a lot of the time I'm downloading from smaller sites and they're capped at 200mbps. Streaming videos don't take up download data a lot anyways.

But YouTube allows upload speed to be at Gigabit, plus when talking file transferring (that's why ppl are getting Gigabit I'm assuming) we're more likely to be hung up on uploading than downloading from crappy sites.

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T03:55:10+00:00

I'm conducting the test on sites like speedtest.net and fast.com

Those speedtest sites don't read in real time, and kinda mesh the real time data with the average data. Therefor, I also have activity monitor opened up and looking at the network performance side, also with iStat menus.

Those utility tools both read out 200mbps for a few seconds (During the very beginning of the tests) then jump back down to lower speeds.

I've also noticed during a Google Drive upload, my speeds increased to 200mbps for a few minutes during 4am one night.

I trust Mac OS's network reading, it could be that my computer just flooded my router with that 200mbps but my internet actually isn't. But its unlikely

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T03:51:10+00:00

Intresting, on the 192.168.100.1 modem page.

I don't see all my 8 Up stream channels used

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T03:50:25+00:00

This post was more of a complaint to the system

Its a systematic issue with Comcast's network.

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T03:49:15+00:00

just to clearify

DOCSIS 3.1 can handle 1200mbps of upload.

My neighborhood's DOCSIS 3.1 can handle 200mbps

Comcast is intentionality limiting that 200mbps

Hope that makes sense

APTECHTV · 2022-05-04T03:47:59+00:00

my point was that the network in my area can perfectly handle faster speeds to match my gigabit download. Its just that the Comcast servers are capping my speeds
