Try a factory reset on the router and setup from scratch. Power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.
Be sure to not enabled Traffic Meter, Armor or Circle.
Be sure your using good quality LAN cables between the modem and router and router and PC. CAT6 is recommended.
A factory reset is kinda radical but I will give it a try.
Is there a way to print out or otherwise document the settings so I can redo them after the reset?
Resets sometimes a valid and necessary trouble shooting step:
I recommend that after you back up the configuration and after resetting and walking thru the setup wizard, you first speed test before re-applying your saved config from file.
I’ll give the reset a try and report back..
Thanks for the guidance.
