Super slow internet connection Xr500
Hello all, I started getting slow speeds yesterday out of the blue and haven't changed any settings. I have restarted modem and router multiple times and it stays the same. What is weird is speedtest...
That could be a DNS issue, have you changed the DNS manually and if not it would be a good thing to change and see if you notice any difference. Are you using a VPN? What web browser/device are you using to access the internet?
I haven't made any changes at all. I am not using a VPN , but its acting like you have a VPN selected for like Germany or something from the United States, everything loads just extremely slow. I have tried mozilla and chrome. Its very strange, Yahoo and all links load fast, Youtube takes days to load, and gmail takes forever to do anything.
- In LAN Settings change the DNS to use 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 for secondary, apply, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes and see if it has improved.
Ok I will try that. I changed the Ipv6 to DHCP and it seems to have resolved a lot of the issues.. Definitely working better than it was. I don't know why it would just randomly act up like this when nothing was changed. The internet connection type was as disabled before I changed it to DHCP.
