Hello, can you help me with my zyxel usg60w? ISP internet speed is 250 Mbps, but usg60w provides wlan speed of 90 Mbps, and wi-fi speed is only 30 Mbps, can this be due to settings or is usg60w broken?

    Hi @Rafael_Samara ,

    Greeting Forum. In my lab (Firmware 4.73), wifi speed is close to my ISP speed. Please use 5G and check the following settings.

    1)Channel Width 20/40/80

    2)Using DCS and enable DFS aware

    3)Check you have strong Single Strength (I ran test in -30dBm)

    4)Running test in your wireless client which supported 802.11ax

    If the issue still, To get better throughput, try to enable Fast Forwarding on USG60W in Configuration > System > Advanced > Fast Forwarding. Fast forwarding is designed to maximize the NAT, Routing, Firewall, and VPN performance.

    Thank you

    Kevin

    Hello Kevin, thank you very much for your reply! The wi-fi speed per channel on my USG60W dropped to 7-12 Mbps after following the steps you suggested, the speed became 17-24 Mbps, it helped the most: enabling "Fast Forwarding" » > Fast Forward. But the wi-fi speed of 24 Mbps is too low. Internet speed over wired LAN 90 Mbps is also very slow. Internet speed with direct connection to the WAN provider 270 Mbps USG60W firmware - 4.73. Perhaps there is a limit set somewhere?

    Found a similar problem:
    
    
        https://community.zyxel.com/en/discussion/1783/slow-5ghz-wireless-speed
    

    

      

      I have already completed all the actions indicated in this post and I have a newer firmware, the speed has not improved.

      Thank you very much, for your help!

    My FLEX100w doesn't have very good speed, but 5G is not a problem. I suspect it may be due to environmental channel interference. 
    Perhaps you can try testing the speed of 5G .
