RS500 takes forever to connect remotely with devices on my home network
I have tried resetting my router. I've fiddled with the settings. When I'm home on wifi, I can access everything quickly. If I'm somewhere else, it takes so long that most of the time, I don't care anymore or I miss whatever is going on, like someone at my door. I've looked at remote settings and while I've made some improvements, it's not working well. I'm on fiber optic and get good speeds when I test, but not when I try and access anything.
