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...
Working with support. I have tested 1.0.9.18 and downgraded to 1.0.9.15 beta to test circle performance. I can confirm that al firmwares tested have the same speed degredation. I am hopeful Netgear continues to investigate and I am trying to help them figure out the issue.
- Testing 1.0.9.13 beta. It is still reproducible.
Tested 1.0.9.20 with Circle On, but this time IPv6 Off. 24 hours and I didn't have any slowdown, and circle seems to be working. I then configured IPv6 and rebooted the router. Within 6 hours speeds was down (190 download to 80 download). I collected some results (as I am working with tech support) and have now disabled IPv6 and rebooted again, will keep on eye on this, but IPv6 may be invovled from what I am seeing.
So, after days of running with IPv6 disabled and Disney Circle Enabled, the speed remains full. So my slowdowns were completely related to the usage if IPv6 on my network.
That being said, I orderd a Disney Circle Device, the $6 a month charge will soon be saved by buying the device.
Interesting to note, it seems Disney Circle Device stops IPv6 traffic, so this may be a Circle Limitation regardless.... Hope they fix that.
