Hello @maximus
There can be a few reasons why the speeds may be slower from one router to another. Our newer routers would automatically assign devices to the 2G or 5G network based on the type of device, bandwidth usage, and strongest signal. It it possible that the devices were connecting to the 2.4G network instead of the 5G and the 2.4G network is typically a little slower than the 5G because there are more sources of interference for it. If your own router works better for you, you can absolutely use it. I would just recommend calling in to 855-707-7328 so that the WiFi charge on the account can be removed if you would like to keep using your own router.
if I bypass the router I will get the full 940 mbps speed, to my Mac mini if I connected it thru the spectrum ax router by a wired connection I will get only 500mbps ? the modem is a 2.5g ubee modem, ?
