AC2000/WAC124 wired slow after a period of time - until restart
Hi all,
I have a AC2000/WAC124 and after a certain period of time, maybe 3 hours, the speed drops.
This is on all connections, including wired.
On wired, the speed drops from over 900 Mbps down to 80-90 Mbps.
As soon as I restart the WAC124, the speed returns.
I am on 1.0.4.7 firmware. I have performed a factor reset earlier today.
I am connecting to the WAC124 via a wired Virgin Media SuperHub 4 .. The same issue also occured on a SuperHub 3
I am not sure what I can check now.
Thanks

Is the WAC124 setup in access point mode or router mode?
How long has it been going on?
What firmware version were you on when it started?
Thanks for reply
Things have moved on. I had a different test result from before.... I bascially removed the WAC from the equation and went direct to the cable, and the same issue occured :|
So I change the SuperHub 4 port, this has now been stable for the 2 days.
This would maybe rule out the WAC, but I have been wondering if the WAC could tell the SH4 to negotiate its speed down ... ?
I'll keep an eye on it and see it goes on, but seems good so far.
Good luck!
Good call on trying a different port on the superhub. I'm not a huge fan of them as they seem to cause a lot of issues.
It could be it has its own QoS setup thats dropping speeds going to the WAC
