RBK852 Cannot do a speedtest

Under Qos setup in AP mode, when I try to test the speed, I get the error:

 

The Speedtest failed to detect the bandwidth, please check your Internet connection or try again later.

 

I get internet service, can use speedtest.net or the app on my phone, so its not internet service.  Any ideas?

    Try setting the IP and DNS to Dymanic instead of Static...

  • What Firmware is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

     

    Is the RBR set for static or dynamic IP and DNS addressing? I saw this issue late last year while in AP mode while using Static IP and DNS addresses. Works when using Dynamic addressing. NG fixed this in a later version of FW.

      I just updated to the latest firmware when I got these 2 days ago. It's set to AP mode, static ip, dns 1.1.1.1.
