I've been having some issues with my Asus BE3600 router. Despite my phone achieving impressive speeds of around 900 Mbps on Wi-Fi, my PC and PS5—both of which don't support Wi-Fi 7—are experiencing significantly slower speeds, especially in uploads. While my AT&T connection can provide about 300 Mbps upload on the PS5, I'm now seeing uploads dropping below 50 Mbps. I initially switched to this router to address a previous issue where my PC would dip below 1 Mbps, and it improved the download speed to about 150 Mbps, but the upload speeds continue to be a problem. Any insights on how I might resolve this?

Have you checked whether your devices are connected to the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band? Sometimes, switching to the 5GHz band can give you better speeds, especially if you’re close to the router. The 2.4GHz band tends to have lower speeds but better range, while 5GHz is faster but doesn't travel as far.
Yeah, definitely make sure you're on 5GHz for the best performance. If your router supports it, you might want to try separating the bands in the settings so you can choose manually.
