To answer the follow up questions, I have a linux machine that doesn't have a wireles connection attached to the router. When I download a large file. As soon as I interrupt the download, the wifi comes back. To StephenB's point, since the linux machine keeps having a connection, but the wireless drops off, I don't think the bottleneck is with the ISP. The wifi connection itself stays around for a little bit, but ultimately my machine just completely drops off if I don't interrupt the download.

The download itself seems to continue fine though. I upgraded to the latest firmware I could see V1. Quick update: after the download finishes, the wifi also comes back. The download rate was about 1. Wifi signal used to get fluctuating if huge or say even MB file download on wireless client say 65Mbps but the effective bandwidth would be less than half of it and if you start downloading the rate will further vary based on the signal congession and band steering all those stuff can be minimized with 5ghz band but signal would be further weak in this.

The issue is not that the wifi throughput drops if I use it for a large file download - that would be expected to some extent. This happens on both the 5Ghz and the 2.

Since you note Windows is not managing the connection, you might try disabling the client software and letting Windows manage the connection. I also tried WEP much faster but less secure :. I could transfer a MB file without any crash. Il will now try with larger directories. If you're not already familiar with forums, watch our Welcome Guide to get started.
