Firmware 2.3.2.32 Breaks Internet Speed
Firmware 2.3.2.32 breaks my internet speed. I run a 1Gbps Up/Down connection. With the latest firmware my speed tops out at 56 Mbps.
QOS is disabled and proper speed is set in Anti-Bufferbloat ...
That is odd, I read your report on the Netduma forum. I updated via the link on the Netgear site. I didnt have the update issues you had, but what is odd is the speed isssue. I get nowhere near 1Gbps Symetrical. Im on a lowly 57Mpbs Down and 17Mbps up, and othats what I get no drop in speed at all. So I get more at 57Mbps than you on a 1Gbps line.
I hope this is sorted out for you as I have to say this fIrmware (2.3.2.32) is running well for me, and has stopped my friends drop outs too. I'm in the UK on a PPPoE cionnection so maybe it has something to do with connection type as well as the headline speed. Hope it gets sorted soon.
Have you noticed ping increases? I tend to be stable when limiting my bandwidth at 70% bufferbloat,
So, 57 Mbps would be about 6% on bufferbloat. As I don't know what's going on behind the scenes my ping has doubled on the new firmware.
Pings are stable and are as they were before for myself, my pings to London from southern UK are 8-12ms, just as they were on the previous version.
