RBK50 / 3x RBS50 -> download slowed down since a few days, upload not affected
Hi
I experience an issue with the download performance since a few days.
My system:

Hi
I installed the new fw in the meantime and made further testing.
The issue seems to be either isp or router (from isp) related.
I tested with a wired laptop directly on the isp router and experienced the same effects.
The provider will no deliver a replacement router. Therefore I guess I can close this issue.
thx for some helpul hints.
I've also had similar problems. It took two seperate factory resets to restore full speed (4 weeks of normel speed now, so I'm optimistic ....).
See my threads here for background details. I conclusively proved it was the RBR50 router causing the throttling - via back to back testing against two alternate routers. The immediate restoration of full speed after factory resets was further proof. Details of the testing per my original thread
This throttling occured before the latest round of firmware update and persisted after the release of V2.1.4.10, so I'm not convinced that it was related any particular firmware version.
I suggest a factory reset (and you may need to do multiple resets...). Good luck
