Third Party Router and Wifi Mesh Problems

Pola616

Greetings I bought an Asus Wifi 7 Router and Mesh System (Asus Zen Wifi BE 14000) my problem is that Upload Speeds are very low with it, I have a 1Gb connection and the download speeds are as expected but upload is very slow at around 3-5 Mbps. I have turned off IPv6 and tried a lot of different things to no avail. Anyone has a list on what things should be configured to get Max speeds on 3rd party routers? Thanks!

I had the same issue and found a solution using MoCA adapters. I connected the Verizon service to a MoCA 2.5 adapter, then used coax to connect to a second adapter, and finally connected that adapter to my router via Ethernet. This restored my full upload speed. The MoCA adapters have 2.5 Gbps bandwidth, so they don’t bottleneck my 1 Gbps Fios service. I did see a small, expected ping increase of 5-10ms. I haven’t tested a gigabit switch, but the MoCA setup worked great for me and will work for me until they give a firmware update that fixes the issue.
