R7000 - Disney Circle - Internet speeds through router slowdown
Creating a new thread to focus on this one issue. I don't believe this is a general slow wifi/slow internet issue, but is clearly Circle related. All tests done on wired connection via my Net...
If the device you're testing on doesn't need to be scanned by Cicle, set it to unmanaged and re-test. Also, disable IPv6 on the router.
I’ve already done what you asked me to do before posting. The issue is definitely the firmware since the problem started right after the update. These are what I have done so far:
- Upgraded to the new firmware 0.9.64_10.2.64.
- Factory reset the router.
- Enabled the circle and did speed test. slow speed
- Deactivated Circle, speed test. Max, full speed
- Disabled internet traffic meter, disabled QS and IPv6 (by default = off) re-enabled saved, and on both cases, speed test same result, no change.
- Finally, connected the mac with the wire directly to the router, factory reset, re-downloaded the firmware from the Netgear, updated the firmware, factory reset the router. Speed test = max Enabled the circle, speed = slow again did step 5 without any luck.
- Final attempt, in my cell, circle app. Unmanaged device = same result and also tried with cell and my pc without any luck againnnnn :-(.
- Conclusion, firmware problem either with circle or the router.
How is this still not fixed?
- I’ve the same issue. Disable circle get 3-4x the download speed.
Tried disabling all unused router features, logs etc. might of helped a small amount.
Backed up my circle account in the circle app and the reset circle (loosing all devices groups and configuration) and the router immediately works Way faster.
Restored config - back to slow as.
I had well over 100 devices and 10 groups which had slowly built up over time.
So I have started again with a reset circle with 15 devices and 3 groups and the speed is still good.
My guess is that circle gets busier the more objects it has to manage and eats CPU time or Ram on the router.
Purge your circle config people...
