XR300 Slow speeds after adding DHCP reservations and content blocking schedule
So I have virgin 350M down and 35M up
Been having an issue for a while now and doing testing with factory resets and only changing certain settings and then leaving to make sure what I've changed hasn't effected speeds.
So tonight I ran a speed test and 380m down (you get a little more with virgin when it bursts downloads) 38.5M up running sweet.
So to stop the kids playing fortnite all night and video calls to their friends i put back in:
Block service - all By schedule on address range 192.168.1.200 to 192.168.1.220
I then added 5 DHCP reservations for the boys devices 200,201,etc etc under lan setup once applied and the WiFi restarts i run a speed test and instantly my speed has gone. I can't get over 100M down at all but the upload is fine
I kind of need the schedule but at the same time I need my speed and can't see how any of these settings would effect speed
I'm holding out for duma os 3 and hoping that fixes a few things
Re: XR300 Slow speeds after adding DHCP reservations and content blocking schedule
So I rebooted it this morning and speeds come back to normal 🤔
Yes my schedule is 10pm till 8am and my range is from 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254 so I set them well down the line as I don't think I'll ever have 200 devices on my network. I will drop my range down though so DHCP can't ever give those address out.
I'll leave it 24 hours and see what my speeds are like, seems like if I make changes a reboot after has to be done. I have issues with QoS which is switched off for now but I'm looking forward to DumaOS 3.0 which I don't suppose you have any more info on yet 😁 I wouldn't mind being a beta tester 😉
