Reason being...I had the same problem...nothing would download without waiting. It seems to be working better now.

I really like my ASUS AC1900 Dual band router.

After google searching and trying a bunch of 'fixes' the one that worked for me was setting the wireless channel to a fixed number, instead of automatic.
I played with the chanels today. 161 seems to be best.

Firmware is the latest. Thanks to all for posting. Its not a huge problem but I would not mind it being faster. I was at a friends house an hour ago and his 1 gig service was downloading at 200 meg. Now I do not feel so bad.
