R7000 SLOWS WAY DOWN with Firmware 1.0.9.10 went back to 1.0.9.6 problem solved. Hold off on update
Just updated the Firmware of my R7000 to the latest 1.0.9.10 from 1.0.9.6 and it cut my download speed from 178MBps on all my devices ( MacBook Pro, iPhone7, iPad Air2) to less than 80MBps. Full pow...
No I did not try either of those options, “factory reset” or “updating the QoS database”. I will try them both after work today. I know how to update the QoS and I’m cool with that. Question I have now is if I do a factory reset, doesn’t that mean I will lose all my current settings? Such as network names, preferences etc? Spent a lot of time with initial set up t get things just how I like them, not sure if I want to spend all that time agian. Will try the QoS option see what that does. For the record I’m only paying for 150 service. So to be getting 180 wirelessly mean that 1.9.0.6 is working great on the speed front. Only issue I have had with 1.9.0.6 is it drops my Android powered smart tv occasionally. But speed wise it’s great.
Yeah, I would give the QoS option a try before doing a factory resetting too. Also, I have experienced(with Android based devices, but don't know if it is exclusive to those), that after doing a firmware update on the router, deleting the saved wifi profile on the android devices, like your phone and re-discover the wifi network and re-enter the network code, made the wifi connection run better and more stable/reliable.
Let us know what you find out! ;-)
