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...
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.
The only thing inside the house from my ISP is (sort of) a PoE injector with the ISP feed coming out via Ethernet. I can pull as many as6+ IPS via their DHCP, so I'm planning to bring the ISP ethernet into a Gb Hub and split it. Put my work laptop into one port and my Tri-Band router into another. It will make my home network unavailable except when I cannot my work laptop to WiFi - but that's fine.
