It did help to get much faster speeds for me also tried the fresh tomato firmware but it didnt seem to help me but it did completely wipe all my settings and I was 100% sure nothing was carried over in any way.

have you tried enabling ipv6?
What website are you using for testing?
Make sure qos, access control, traffic monitoring, and parental controls are all disabled. Then reboot the device and test.

Did you try a factory reset and new install? (don't use a backup)- danheinz1126Oct 25, 2021AspirantI've done 3-4 factory resets. The one I've noticed is that it doesn't need to update the firmware after the resets so I think it's probably the firmware. I may need to roll that back.
