TELUS Wi-Fi 7 router not giving full symmetrical 3Gbps speeds
I’m on TELUS PureFibre 3 Gig for around $70/month. I’m testing with a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, which supports Wi-Fi 7.
The issue I’m having is that my upload speed is much higher than my download speed. On Wi-Fi 7 with my S24 Ultra, one of my tests showed:
I know Wi-Fi can be limited by signal, distance, interference, device limits, and all the other annoying little things that make “3 Gig” turn into a guessing game. But I also tested through LAN using the router’s 2.5 Gig port connected directly to my PC, and I’m still seeing the same pattern:
Download: around 1.1 Gbps
Upload: around 2.3 Gbps
So this does not seem like it is only a Wi-Fi problem. The upload speed is close to what I would expect from a 2.5 Gig LAN port, but the download is way lower.
I called TELUS and asked for the Wi-Fi 7 router to be replaced. I’m trying to figure out whether this is a router issue, firmware issue, provisioning issue, ONT issue, or something on TELUS’s backend.
Has anyone else on TELUS 3 Gig had this problem where upload is strong but download is much lower, even on LAN? What ended up fixing it?
Edit: To clarify, I have two PCs. The TELUS NAH only has one 10G port. One PC supports Wi-Fi 7 up to 5Gbps, and the other PC does not have Wi-Fi.
Because of that, I connected one PC through Wi-Fi 7 and the other through the 2.5G LAN port on the router. I know Wi-Fi will not fully test a 3 Gig plan, and 2.5G LAN cannot reach full 3Gbps. My issue is that the router is not giving the expected speeds on either connection. Download is much lower than upload on both Wi-Fi and LAN.
