I'm on the full fibre 200 package and using a third party router Asus 4G-AC68U which only delivers 1/4 the peak speed of the Vodaphone router. Does any one else have the Asus 4G-AC68U ? and encounter the same issue.
for testing I'm using wired ethernet only, I don't have a SIM in the router either. I wanted to use the Asus for its AImesh capabilities and it was already set up before i got 200 mbps from Vodafone.
So when connected with the Vodafone router on full fibre 200 package I'm getting speeds in excess of 200 mbps, usually 220 or there abouts. As soon as i use the Asus it drops to around 50. I cant explain it, i have every functions switched off so nothing can interfere. When i switch back to the supplied Vodafone router it goes back to 200+ mbps. Call centre is useless as they are reading off a script. anyone else with full fibre 200 notice the massive drop off from using a 3rd party router?
It also suffers from intermittent drop out of service every 20 mins or so. I didnt have any of these issues with other providers using this same modem
Is there any point in using the Asus as an AP instead and let the Vodafone router handle the modem?
