Anyway it won't be down the drain because a faulty item has to be made good. It's the law.
I've looked at my traffic monitor tab. (Asus RT-N66U) It appears entirely passive, in that there is nothing to adjust. You can alter the view, i.e. wired, wireless 1 and wireless 2, real time, last 24 hours or daily. The line graph adjusts its interval depending on current usage. Right now the graph shows a maximum possible speed of 73Kb/s.earlier it showed 98Kb/s. This is appears to be reactive to LAN and WAN activity.

I can see no potential for manually adjusting your actual bandwidth.



Bandwidth adjustment can only be actioned in the QOS tab and only if QOS on. By default my settings were 124Mb/s down and 12Mb/s up. I attempted to replicate problems by switching QOS on at those levels. My maximum speed in tests was 90Mb. I raised the potential down speed to 250Mb/s. Still I could only get 90Mb. With QOS off my download speed returned to its usual 126Mb.

Did you upgrade the firmware? If so I guess there could be a physical fault.

FAQ on slow speed says:

Solution
Step 1: Ensure you're getting a clean test. Stop ongoing downloads and connections. For example, you are using peer-to-peer software.

Step 2: If you're using Wi-Fi to connect, try using a wired Ethernet connection to eliminate the possibility of wireless interference

Step 3: Reboot your modem and router and try again.

Step 4: Please kindly contact your ISP if there is a mismatch between your plan and the speeds you’re getting to check if they can run a diagnostics on their end.

Step 5: Connect your computer directly via LAN to your modem, if the speed is slow, please contact ASUS for more help. "

mm Shouldn't that read " if your speed is as expected"?
