Ex8000 / Ex7700 slow upload speeds
Recently I Have Updated My Whole Sytem to Netgear, https://community.netgear.com/t5/Cable-Modems-Routers/Time-to-update-my-system/m-p/1971092#M26582 I have a few issues but the main one is : I am ...
Hi thanks for the swift reply
I actually turned the 2,4 channel of and it made no difference except my daughters iphone 10 would not connect, so after a lot of whining it got turned back on
Good idea with the hard wire i hadnt tried this
I connected a lappy to the ex8000 and was ony getting 20mbps , Connected the lappy direct to the ex8000 suppy and still only 20mbps
Tried a different lead from the router to the lappy and got 200mbps. looks like wire at fault ? (strange as i had already swapped this out and had made no difference)
Reconnected the original ex8000 wire feed to the lappy and was also now 200mbps . connected it back to the ex880 and the lappy through the ex8000 and was still getting 200mbps.
looks like the introduction of the lappy onto the port has triggered something
wifi is now 100mbps
What is really weird in a previous post i have commented i can only see one s8000 not all three , guess what they are all visible for the first time since the ex8000 started working better . work that one out
Massive improvement but still not the full wifi speed
it makes it a bit of a challenge when running the XR500 plus the S8000 switches. The S8000 have their own qos and rate limiting on them.
If you direct connect the EX8000 to the router (without switches) and speedtest, what speeds do you get wirless?
- Morning sorry for the slow reply.
This was with the ex8000 direct to the router
200mbps wired
100mbps wireless
New problem sprung from this though which I didn't notice till the next day. none of my windows devices will now connect wirelessly saying there is a problem with the card driver or reboot router to see if this helps . I will reboot everything again back to standard and start a fresh later today.
As for the switches and router qos they seem to be the only thing that is solid with constant of a minimum of 180mbps .so you get full speed if the ex8000 is hardwired in?
you put 200mbps wired and 100mbps wireless (is that 2.4ghz or 5ghz? it bandsteers)
Evening all,
So I rebooted everything back to stock including a network reset on all devices and started with one piece at a time .
Starting with the router first , I left this in wifi mode for set up to begin with.
Before I introduced any thing else into the network I installed the ex8000 wired so I had two different WiFi points, both were giving out 200mbps.
I then installed one switch and checked it and then connected what it feeds one at a time and checked them as I connected them.
Followed by the next switch checked it and then it's feeds one at a time and checked them as I connected them.
Same again on the next switch and it's feeds.
Had a minor snag half way through where the Xbox wouldn't connect by WiFi or wire but after a few reboots it Ip-ed up.(don't know what caused this but it cured itself)
At present everything is working exactly as it should. (Including Win10 devices)
The only thing that won't play ball which I hadn't done before is using the ex7700 to extend from the ex8000, neither the WPS method or night hawk app will complete so shows a network but nether an internet connection..
What I did gain from this long and painfull install is no unamed items in the Dumas device manager as I could identify them as I connected them.
The Ex8000 actually shows as three devices one for each channel and I expect the ex7700 will be the same if I don't smash it to pieces first lol.
I have got to where I should of been 3 weeks ago and has cost me many hours.
of my time.
What I fear now is having to do it again in the future as many times I have read posts by yourselves that after an update quite often a restart is required. This could be terminal for this setup
Except for installing the Ex8000 first I have not installed this any different this time from the last ten times Barr I have been more methodical, never have I ever had any install problems of this magnitude on networking before.
PS I still think the switches rock but the extenders are painfull.
