So to rule out the stacked router configuration, connect one PC directly to the modem and see if you still encounter problems there. IF you do then the problem is with the modem or ISP services. If you don't see problems, then the problem is downstream starting with the DIR router and your router configuration there.
Suggested configuration would be DIR router to other two routers configured for AP mode. Or input one of the routers in router mode in the DIR-655 DMZ for better network flow thru NAT.
Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes.
The issue was the cascading routers. Apparently the Dlink attached to the cable modem wasn't able to handle the multiple NAC translations from the other routers attached to it, and was constantly dropping packets. Removed the DLINK and am only using a single router now. Speeds have also increased dramatically. Putting all my IOT devices on the "guest" wifi of the main router to keep that traffic isolated from my main network. Thanks again.
Yes, double nat can cause problems. Glad you got it working again. Enjoy. :smileywink:
