Download speeds severely dropping throughout the day while ISP isn't throttling me (Nighthawk D7000)
Hi all,
Purchased a D7000 a while back due to a power trip in my house frying my old TalkTalk supplied superrouter.
Set the D7000 up via the setup wizard and now my speeds fluctuate throught the day, reaching highs of 61/62 and dropping as low as 20.
When I use the replacement router TalkTalk sent my speeds are consistently 55/57 so this isn't a case of TalkTalk throttling me throughout the day.
If anyone has any idea what is causing this I'd really appreciate the help otherwise it looks like I've spent £120 on a pretty useless paperweight.
Cheers,
Jack

What firmware version do you have on the D7000?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.

Did you reset the router to factory settings after the firmware flash?
New firmware sometimes introduces changes that are not compatible with the old configuration.
So while it isn't guaranteed to fix problems a factory reset is the first thing to try if you have issues with new firmware.
This is a nuisance because you then have to reconfigure the device all over again.
You can backup your settings before you reset and restore them later. But that may just bring back the fault. Then again, at least you will know if the reset fixed the problem.

Yeah I tried that yesterday, I've seen marginal improvement since doing it although my speeds still fluctautate quite a bit when using it compared to my TalkTalk supplied router.

Such is TalkTalk's reputation as the world's worst ISP, conspiracy theory would suggest that it fiddles the speedtests.
But that is probably a cruel slander. Then again, how are you testing speeds?
When I do this a run speed tests on several different sites and put the details into a spreadsheet.
I always tests as a wired connection because wifi is notoriously dodgy.
