i ran Qos speed test on 2 different ports and got 349 and 347 download speeds. When i ran the spectrum cable speed test i kept getting a new error A socket error occurred during the Download test. Please try again later.
Should I leave Qos enale in Dynamic mode ?
Well, that down speed means that is what the Router is seeing. Leave QoS OFF, of little use for speeds over 300Mbps and in some cases makes things worse. So the problem is between the router to the wired PC.
Two things to try:
- Use a different LAN port. One using could be bad.
- Try a different cable, connector could be a slight mismatch for the socket, but I assumed the present one worked OK with the modem?
Otherwise, maybe you need a new driver for the network card/device in the PC?
The error, I've seen it too (have Spectrum as well). Working OK for me now (https://www.spectrum.com/internet/speed-test.html). At one time (I have Brighthouse) the link on its website for speedtest never worked. Since they switched to the link above I don't think I've had that problem. SPEEDTEST.NET is another you can use. It yields the same results basically.
