XR500 wired/wireless speed degrades after a short amount of time
My speeds degrade over a short period of time. 3 computers are wired and 1 wireless. Modem>Router>Computers nothing special. Both the modem and router are brand new 4 months. Computer direct to m...
Yes both wired and wireless will slow down. I will have to check the wizard for the speeds, I run the speedtest from speedtest.net to get my results and will be as low as 5Mbps down and about the same up. I have Gigablast from Cox so I get around 700 - 900 depending on what we have running and what is going on with cox on average. Running a test from the router I get 459 down and 33 up. speedtest.net gave me 661 down and 16 up. when I wake up in the morning and do a test it will be down to 5 at the lowest that I have seen. If I then reboot it it will take me back up to normal speeds. For QoS I went under it and selected never under Anti-Bufferbloat, when I go into it, it will say All QoS features are disabled.
Does it just happen once a day then from what you gather? When you reboot it in the morning do you see it happen again before the next morning? In Settings go to monitoring > connection status, what does it say for DHCP lease obtained/expires?
I rebooted it this morning from the night before. Just got home from work and it is down to 4.31 down and .88 up. for connection status it is Obtained 1 day and expires 15 hours 59 min.
- Thanks for the information, when you see it again could you look in System Information please and see what the CPU & RAM usage results are?
so last night about this time is when I did the reset and not this morning like usual. this morning everything was normal speeds, but now they are in the tank again, 6.85 down and 6.03 up. Ram is 60.1 DumaOS, 178.5 Kernel and 233.4 free. Cpu 0 fluxes from 10-40% and Cpu1 fluxes from 0-20%
