Asus Router Slow Download Speed
I am having a speed issue with my wireless connection - only on my laptop. All other devices are fine.
Network configurationCISCO DPC3825 Cable Modem in bridge modeASUS N56U Dual Band Router. Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.374_239 (checked that this is the latest available)Multiple devices connected to the Router (DELL laptop Inspiron N1501, Android Smartphone, IPhone4S, Macbook Pro, XBMC/Pivos and Canon Pixma printer). All are connected wirelessly except the PIVOS which is through Ethernet.Also connected to the router is my external USB hard drive (2TB).The ASUS router I just bought a couple of weeks ago and have set it up myself.
Most home routers including your new one have very slow CPUs. They work around this by having hardware acceleration for basic routing. The key word is basic. Anything more advanced like QoS and the packets must go through the slow CPU. This is a double hit as the CPU now has to do all the basic routing tasks and the QoS on top of it.

ASUS RT-AC68U ethernet ports VERY slow - posted in Networking: Hi, I have 180/12 internet. Tried rebooting the router, turning off QoS. Just to reiterate, wifi gets the full download speed so I don't think it's the modem. Nov 20, 2018 - Disable DMZ+, there's a possible issue with it causing slow speeds on the. Jinwithann test this out: Take your ASUS router OUT of DMZplus and behind. I saw that there is a 10.7, but I can't find a download for it anywhere.
Problem/Issue All devices that are connected to the router are working fine through the wireless connection - except the DELL laptop (which I used to set up and monitor the router). When I connect to the router through Ethernet cable I get excellent speeds of 50Mbps (higher than the rated promised speed of 30Mbps). However when connected through wireless it barely crawls and I get 2 Mbps max.measured using speedtest.net. I am using DELL laptop (INSPIRON N1501 Intel i3 with Windows 8 64bit 250GB 4MB RAM)
This problem has started only since the new router/modem combination was installed last week. Prior this I was using the a different router/modem (SMC Gateway with DLink DIR657) and it was fine. Switched as cable service provider now providign free modem and I was advised to get the ASUS router for its good performance.
Given that the issue is only with this laptop and only when using the wireless connection I suspect the problem lies there and most likely in the wireless network adapter. However being a novice in networking I don't know how to troubleshoot this. I am providing the following information if some one can help or provide some pointers of what to do.

Just to add: there is 1 additional network adapter - not sure what they are for!

Thank you in advance for your input and advice. If the above information is inadequate and more details are required please let me know how to get them (as I am networking novice!)

Are you using the same wifi channel as your old modem? Download free haitian music mp3. Your new router might be using a busy channel by default with lots of interference. You can check with inSSIDer.
Try a different wifi encryption method on your router, or turn it off briefly to test.See if you get much difference between WPA2 and WPA (don't bother with WEP). If you turn off encryption, you should see a roughly 20% improvement in speed, but beware that anyone can see your data.

Check your event logs and make sure your wifi card and driver is happy.
Beyond that, you can try installing Wireshark and looking at the traffic for some clues (however it's not particularly friendly towards the network novice).
