hmm 2.7%

what’s your Full Charge Capacity and Design Capacity values ?

i would avoid any third party battery .. because they do have …issues like they don’t last long after charging , charging takes alot time , sometimes battery software installed by Laptop OEM don’t accept it etc etc

so before u decide if u need new battery ..

look what’s your battery wear level 1st ?

1) – search of command prompt -> right click , run it as admin  –> than type ” powercfg /batteryreport ” ( without Quotation ) –> report will be generated
2) – look at the location where battery reported  generated ( usually generated in user folder )
3) – In report scroll down and under Installed Batteries take values of  Design Capacity and Full Charge Capacity
4) – now take values .. and calculate

{(Full Charge Capacity / Design Capacity) x 100} -100 = wear level of battery

or
u can use -> https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/battery_information_view.html

depending on how much wear level is …
1) – u can calibrate your battery , check if some software is running in background taking full processing power and discharging it fast , set power saver option when running laptop on battery

2) – if above not works .. than u can go ahead and buy new genuine battery

or  any u like

avoid a cheap, counterfeit, or improperly designed battery  to be safe

i wonder why ISP are not upgrading you guys to GPON ?

when 5G will go live  ..prob it will be faster than current VDSL 17a profile ( but data caps )

I agree .. no major update for Netgear XR500 in last 11 Months

DSL Products – i wonder reason of lack of support from manufacturer is no binaries from chipset manufacturer ?  + ASUS don’t see much future in DSL based products when future is based on fiber optic ? so investing huge in R&D of DSL would not generate enough profits for them compare to number of DSL units sold …..
+ OEM modem manufacturer ISP select’s are already providing ok connection to majority of ISP users ?

no i have not tested new 384.15 alpha firmware , i have been testing latest ASUS Stock  3.0.0.4.384.7968.

Merlin firmware 384.15 use GPL of ASUS RT-AX88U for firmware 3.0.0.4.384.7756 .. which is old ..

currently everything  is working fine for you  ..so there is no need to jump on new aplha firmware  ..unless you feel something is not running correctly as per your needs

unloaded 9ms and loaded 15ms = bloat of 6ms , that’s far great compared to 50ms

( lets say your playing games or doing latency sensitive work …. during that time .. somebody starts downloading or uploading photos or videos or watching netflix .. with QOS on you will see increase of 6ms+ with QOS off you will see increase of 50ms+ depending on load … through i can be wrong  testing is only way to be sure :D )

u have bloat of 50ms as per fast.com ( FAST.com provides two different latency measurements for your Internet connection: “unloaded” and “loaded” with traffic. The difference between these two measurements is also called “bufferbloat”. ) …

you can know about buffer bloat – https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Introduction/

Merlin Frimware have better QoS Queue Disciplines built in like -> fq_codel

 

but since you don’t use QOS ..you can try ASUS stock

on latest ASUS 3.0.0.4.384_7968 you can disable PMF and other options :)

but on 3.0.0.4.384_7968 , there is a issue with QOS Bandwidth limiter .. where on Wi-Fi upload is not limited by QOS  :)

what’s your buffer bloat result ? ( wifi and hardwired )

@Mrk26 – issue you were having where you were unable to disable PMF in latest Merlin Frimware – 384.14 is not Merlin GUI issue , it’s from ASUS Stock GPL .6436 …..
today i have tested ASUS Stock 3.0.0.4.384.6436 where i was unable to disable PMF even after selecting disable and apply it reverts back to capable

@Grisu – yes your right , issue’s are with stock firmware

i really hope asus will provide stable firmware next year

glad everything is sorted out for you :)

ASUS Stock 3.0.0.4.384.6436 where it’s changed ..because of push towards WPA3 and OFDMA …. when you enable WPA3 ..you will need Protected Management Frames Enable/ Capable .. ( through in 384.6436 WP384.6436 WPA3 and OFDMA was not shown as options )

it’s weird that you were not able to save disable option maybe GUI bug  …  ( through you should report PMF issue to ASUS by feedback form on your router that your phone get very slow speed when PMF is Enable or Capable on 5GHz ….. because WIFI stuff is closed source and fully controlled by ASUS …. )

hmm @ that data rate your phone will easily support 250Mbps+

ok lets see … my settings are like …

wifi – general tab

802.11ax/ Wi-fi 6 mode -> Enable
WPA Encryption – AES
Authentication Method – WPA2 Personal
Protected Management Frames – Capable ( on previous firmware it was disable )
Channel bandwidth – 20/40/80 ( unchecked 160MHz and DFS )
Control Channel – 36

WPS Tab ->
WPS – Off

Professional Tab
Region Set to -> Asia

your phone SOC Snapdragon 835 does support – MU-MIMO … ( but not sure if LG enabled it or not on software side )

ok

i might think 2.4ghz might be culprit lol , i have hardly ever tested 5ghz device on 2.4 ghz …. but i use smart connect .. so it auto connect to 2.4 ghz or 5ghz as per situation

u can also try moving to 40Mhz Channel on 2.4 Ghz and see if speed increase
or

on 5ghz professional settings .. enable Multi user MIMO , 802.11AC Beam forming .. than reboot and connect those device on 5ghz and check speed ?

i would prefer moving to 5ghz channel because it got most bandwidth available with less interference …….

PCE-AC68 is 3×3 stream device = 1,300 Mbps is max it will get at 80Mhz channel bandwidth which is good and according to expectation

why you have connected  AC devices on 2.4Ghz ?  ( name G6 . V30 , android )

connect them to 5Ghz ? and speed test ?  ( also use static channel number between 36 to 48 or 149+ ) and if there is issue test it on 80MHz bandwidth .. ( 160MHz use DFS soo sometimes connectivity issue comes up with some devices .. where SSID not showing etc etc )
————————————————————————————
G6 is 2 Streams  but it seems to be connected at 1 streams  = max link speed will be 433Mbps on 5Ghz

V30 is connected at 2 streams = so max link speed will 866Mbps on 5Ghz

android i cant say by name but connected at 1 stream = so max speed link speed will be 433Mbps on 5Ghz
————————————————————————–
here in 5Ghz AC Wave 2

1 stream = 1×1 MIMO = 433Mbps
2 Streams = 2×2 MIMO = 433Mbps x 2 = 866Mbps

2×2 AC device @ 80MHz  @ channel 36 = 866Mbps = 216.5 Mbps x 4  20MHz channels comb (36 ,40 , 44 , 48 )
2×2 AC device @ 160MHz @ channel 36 = 1,732 Mbps =2165.5 Mbps x 8 20MHz channels comb ( 36, 40, 44 , 48 and DFS channel 52, 56, 60, 64 )

please correct me if i’m wrong

coool,

hmmm LG v30 is pretty strong phone with Qualcomm  Snapdragon 835 SOC

i have HTC U11 which use same SOC and max out over 300Mbps + speed

login to router , click on system log –> wireless log

post screenshot of that ?  ( hide MAC address and device that are not having issue before posting )

also i want to ask which site are u using to test speedtest.net ? or fast.com ?
