XR300 losing 50% of speed when bridging

Hello,

 

When I use the following option to get my IPTV working, the IPTV works perfectly, but the internet speeds are 40-50% worse.

 

 

 

If I untick Enable VLAN Bridge Setup, it goes back to normal speeds. This happens even if there isn't any cable connected to Port 4 and the IPTV set box definitely doesn't take 50 mbps (my normal speeds are 100/100). It takes normally around 8-10.

Turning QoS on/off doesn't make any difference.

 

Regards,

Boris

  • Check with Geo disabled and see if you have any connection issues - namely the ability to connect to players.

  • Sorry to hear you're having these troubles!

    So are you losing bandwidth over both wired and wireless?

    Have you disabled anything else in DumaOS such as Geo-filter etc to make sure it's not a Rapp affecting things?

      Both wired and wireless, it's the same.

      I have removed Geo-filter, QoS, enabled disabled settings like UPNP, port scan and dos protection, nat-filtering, igmp proxying.

      Nothing helped.
      I also tried 3 different OS firmware versions and factory reset the router at least 3 times already.

        Hey weedminer I remember we've discussed this on the Netduma forum, I doubt any NG staff will comment here but hopefully some other users may help, is your workaround still working?
