R8000P Nighthawk Router is causing delay internet, but works great when connected direct to modem
I have my PC connect to my Nighthawk router with a LAN cable and my router is connected to my cable modem. When I access any website there is about a second or so delay before it goes to the website. If I'm in say my online banking and want to redirect to billpay it usually won't do it at all. I use Quickbooks for work and if I try to do an online backup it always fails.
HOWEVER - if I unplug my pc from the Nighthawk and plug directly into the cable modem.....it always works. What am I doing wrong? Also, it didn't always use to do this.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
Power OFF the ISP Modem for 1 minute then back ON. Then walk thru the set wizard using a wired PC and web browser at 192.168.1.1
