Nighthawk X6 R8000 slow download speed only WIFI and VPN (AP MODE)
Hi all, I have a Nighthawk X6 R8000. Firmware version: V1.0.4.68_10.1.75 I'm working from home and I found that when I connected my laptop (and Cisco VPN connection was enabled on the laptop...
When you're using your vpn, all the data on that device has to go through the vpn. so if it (the vpn) doesn't have the speed/capability then the vpn will be the bottleneck.
But I tried to connect it to my mobile hotspot (WIFI) as well and the result is that the download and upload speed are very well when the VPN is enabled. Not to mention that over Ethernet, the VPN works perfectly on the same router
have you checked with your vpn provider to see if there's any certain settings needed?
Not yet, but most of my colleagues (about 20-25 colleagues) are not competent in the settings of the routers, and they don't have this problem with the VPN which is the same as mine. They didn't set anything at home, and it is working perfectly there ...
I didn't set anything on the wifi hotspot either, and yet it works, so I don't think it's a VPN problem, more likely a router or its setup issue.Or its an issue with the ISP.
modem+router works fine
modem+router+vpn=not working.
If it happened without the vpn, maybe I could see the router
