The issue is fairly new within the last 3 weeks I would estimate. I currently am paying for 50/50mbps FIOS connection in Maryland between Baltimore and DC. The issue is that while wired connections are achieving the 50/50 connection speed (with BOTH routers) any wireless connection is just terrible so slow its unusable and worse yet often disconnects devices.
Here is my current setup in the house:
FIOS 50/50 into home
First router is FIOS ACTIONTEC MI1424WR Rev.1 on 2.4GHz channel 1
Second router coming out of LAN port 1 on Actiontec is ASUS RT-AC68U Dual Band on 2.4GHz channel 11 and a 5GHz channel as well, this is the device everything normally connects to with the FIOS router as a backup
I have about a dozen appliances in the home running off WiFi consistently like Amazon Echo, iPhone 6, chromecast, lenovo laptops, iPads, droid tablets, etc...
So far my troubleshooting has been the following:
-Updated firmware on both Actiontec and ASUS routers
-Reset both routers simultaneously dozens of times and even once overnight completely off
-Did a half dozen hard reboots of the FIOS fiber>coax demodulation box in garage
-Called FIOS and had them do a reset of my signal from their end twice now
-disabled all wifi devices in home except one laptop
-ran wifi signal analyzer software to determine if a new signal was bombarding my home (doesnt appear to be the highest db signals are all mine inside home)
-relocated routers and moved equipment running off them into same room
What I'm down to with FIOS is that I need a new Actiontec FIOS router and they are sending me one but the fact that both routers are giving me a hardwired connection that is amazing and both are giving me the same terrible wifi signal would point to an environment problem wouldnt it? Unless the actiontec has a bug and somehow KNOWS what is wifi and what is hardwired in the other router but that seems unlikely. Anyways I've been working this for weeks so any help would be splendid. Also this exact setup has worked flawlessly for over 2 years with no issues if that matters.
