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...
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.
- Interesting, glad to hear it's working again, do keep us posted if it presents itself again
