I increased my ISP speeds - when I speed test from the Router I get good results, My Cat 5e Ethernet
I pay for a pretty decent speed from my ISP (just bumped it up). When I do a speed test from the Router, I get the full 20MB speed however, my laptop which is connected via Ethernet 5e cable still o...
did you setup qos on the R8000P?
I've heard of prior settings being retained even through a reboot.
Have you tried a simple factory reset and re-install?
Yes, I set QoS. Should I not have? I'm trying to attain fast enough signal to sustain VoIP to my remote office over VPN.
what modem are you using?
have you tried a reset and re-install?
I have a nighthawk Tri Band Router on the latest firmwre. I'm hoping to not have to do a factory reset, because of all of my IoT devices - plus I work online about 10-12 hours per day. However, if it comes to that - that is what I will do. I'm actually considering putting my Ethernet from my work PC into a hub that I will connect to my ISP. Because I am so rural, I use Airlink Internet (wireless network is powered by a proprietary point to multipoint technology and leverages the available 5G spectrum for unparalleled performance and reliability). My modem test showed 20MB/s Down and 10 MB./s Up - However, My ethernet gets choked down to 3-5 MB down. I need VOiP to function reliably. I end up making 20+ work related calls over a softphone/VPN every day. Sometimes the audio is just absent from the other caller only 10% of the time, but that's enough to be problematic.
Many of those Airlink setups have their own integrated router functions. Does yours? if you can hook more than 1 device to it, it probably does.
Potentially it could be a double nat causing issues.
