Nighthawk R7000 -- WIRELESS speeds FASTER than wired speeds
Hi this is my first post here and it's a weird one for me. I've been running QoS for a while without issue but it seems like after an update and I'm not sure which one my Ethernet speeds have severel...
Have you tried changing the Ethernet cable?
What's your speed when you bypass the router?
Did you try all LAN ports on the router?
By the way, did you reset the route rafter firmware upgrade?
Hi got same issue. Solving it was very simple.
By default the QOS is set to manual! What a stupid thing! Then nothing is optimized.
Change it to Automatic. Then everything will be back to normal. Otherwise disable QOS, if you have a large broadband it is useless even for heavy domestic use.
cheers
i actually set it up in manual which is advanced mode. I set all the devices i wanted to have highest priority and it worked for a while. Recently it started acting up and i changed it to Dynamic or auto and it probably worked for a week but than my upload speeds went way down and i couldnt game properly.
Also the uplink bandwidth only measures my upload speed at 10Mbps but its also capping me download on wired connection to 10Mbps. I manually entered 100Mbps and it seemed to sort of work but still other devices started to buffer. Im honestly at a loss. I think im just going to turn it off and see what happens when i have a multiple devices running. QoS is more of a pain than its worth it seems
ill add real quick. When i have QoS in manual mode everything works fine with no interruptions but my download speed on wired is capped at 10Mbps where the wifi has no cap. I dont get it.
SillyMan When setting the QoS, did you try to do a Speed Test? If not, do a Speed Test after selecting Advance or Dynamic.
Yes i have done that and it comes back to me with 10,000 Kbps. which is what my total upload speed is. My download is 100Mbps. For now i have to leave my settings with advance QoS because this is the only way my network is stable. I run to PS4 consoles and this is the only way we can game together otherwise we get kicked. Right now my download speeds on wired are capped at 10Mbps. I think the speedtest might be limiting me. If i was to change that value manually my download speeds go up but things get a bit unstable.
All i want is the devices i have set to highest priority and that are wired to be able to download faster than 10Mbps. Everything else is fine.
