I have Hyperoptic 1Gb fibre optic router next to bedroom with Multy X 1 get 300 to 350 mpbs there 3 m from router have anoth multy X in living room manage on good day 175 mpbs but need to reboot restart  factory reset every weekend.

I am happy to send back to Zyxel as their customer service is far too technical and not user friendly anyone any ideas for better system? This can go in the bin as far as I am concerned. Too stressful it was better with my old Devolo plug in wifif extenders not fast but very consistent

    Hola NickyM,

    Do you mean that you encountered inconsistent download/upload speed from two nodes (Internet <-> node1 and Internet <-> node2)? How do you check this? Through Multy App's Diagnose or ...?

    Can you share the reason why you need to reboot/factory reset every weekend?

    So far, my experience of Multy X is pretty well.

    Hi, i have a 500 Mbps fiberoptic line at home, only getting around 200-300 from Internet to Multy X node2 and from Node1 to Node2? before last FW upgrade i got 500 Mbps between all nodes..

    My set-up is Internet/Modem connected to Node 1 (TV Stua) and node 2 (Kitchen) with perfect range from Node 1 according to app (WIFI Backhaul)

    Hi Lomprayah,

    Have you try to reboot node2? Has it improvement?
    What is the distance between nodes?

    In your situation, it may be some noise interference in your WLAN environment to cause the problem. As far as i know, Multy will choose the best band frequency for the wireless backhaul between your Multys at the first pairing/reboot.
    However, the backhaul will use the same band until you reboot(re-pairing) them, that's why the problem solved after you reboot them, they will re-select the best band for the wireless backhaul. 
    If this problem happened again, you can refresh the backhaul by pushing the refresh button at Setting >> Advanced Setting >> "Refresh", check any improvement.

    I hope it can answer your problem. ;)

    thanks for comments, have had one multy x replaced worked ok then after last firmware update it is back to being rubbish. I have rebooted restarted swapped units refreshed every possible option I am again ready to bin system and laving trailing lead from cupboard as that's the only way to get decent wifi in the living room with multy x.

    Any ideas welcome  as IEE regs will come into play next

    Sometimes, if the extender Multy doesn't get a good connection with the root one, the extender Multy may upgrade after the root node finished the upgrade process.
    If the extender one doesn't upgrade itself, you can try to switch the position of root and extender Multy and resetting them. the extender one will upgrade to the latest fw after it connect to the internet.

    Hi,

    Multy is a tri-band AP, Multy and Multy are connecting each other with high-frequency 5G band.
    However, the backhaul may be affected by the environment, such as DFS channel, or Signal interference.
    You can always reconnect their wireless backhaul by reboot the Multy System or click the "Refresh" button on "Multy App".
    You can find the "Refresh" button on Multy App >> Menu >> Settings >> Advanced Settings.


    Or you can use Ethernet cable to connect Multy to build an Ethernet backhaul. It can provide a much stable connection between Multy.
