If you didn't change any settings after the setup wizard then you wouldn't have changed the bandwidth settings to put in the speeds you should get to allow you to get to higher speeds. You can always downgrade to the previous firmware after completing the setup wizard if you find it to be more stable for you.
- Like in the QoS area with the slide bars? It auto.atically did that when I ran thru the set up. Checking internet speeds and I got 117.3 do and 13.6 I think upload. And that was hardwired and then a couple mins later after I finished the initial setup I had no speeds . Unless I am missing something I thought that's what that was all about.
- Yes that's right, no that's correct. Thanks for clarifying. If you disable QoS completely from that same menu where you enter the speeds do you get full speeds then?
- No actually interesting situation. So I packaged up the router ready to take it back and woke up today like I'll give it 1 more shot. Turned everything off even my comp. Connected everything. Powered up everything and it works fine.... no issues atm . Qos was disabled . I fine tuned some if the settings and still is running great. Weird ...but thnx for the replies and assistance.
