WNDR4300 Upstream Qos killing internet speed

WNDR4300 - Discovered that I was only getting 9Mbps downstream. Disabled Upstream QOS and it shot up to 50 Mbps. Is there a solution for this other than leaving it disabled? Is there a firmware or other solution?

  • Hi jjmediaman,

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    Did you set some QoS rule? What was set on your Uplink Bandwidth? Have you tried setting a different value under the uplink bandwidth?

    Try around 85% of your uplink bandwidth and see if it will make any difference.

     

    Looking forward to your response.

     

    Regards,

      How do you set rules?  From what I can see it's either on or off and those are the only two options.  I have the same problem with downloads and streaming. If I set QoS on the download it works great for streaming but completely shuts down the rest of my network on the 2.4GHz ban.  If I have QoS on I get about 100KB of download on my computer.  As soon as I turn QoS off I Immediately get between 70-80M so the QoS is great for streaming but kills everything else.  Like you said I would love to set something up for like 80% streaming and 20% something else. I don't see where you can do that and customer service says it can't be done. I find that hard to believe.

        I left "Enable Upstream QoS" off. Everything works fine. I don't need it for gaming. I use Xbox 360 all the time and have not had any problems with gaming. Like was mentioned earlier, did you experiment with different percentages of your max speed? What gaming are you attempting?
