Very slow internet speeds R8000
Since a week or 2 I get very slow internet speeds when using the R8000. Sometimes the entire connection drops. I have a 250 Mbps (downstream) and 25 Mbps (upstream) internet connection. I already h...
- Well, in my case I think it was not Armor: when I switched to a new wifi 6 Asus router, the problem was still there. Eventually it turned out to be some application running on my Synology that was draining the internet connection. After tuning the settings of that application, it worked fine again.

To my surprise, I noticed the NETGEAR72 wifi SID instead of my own and logging in into the router on 192.168.0.1 no longer worked.
That's not the default IP address for the graphical user interface (GUI) on routers.
192.168.0.1 is for modem/routers.
Routers use 192.168.1.1
Yes, but I changed it to 192.168.0.1 because my NAS and DNS entries are also configured in that range. This has worked fine for the first 2 years that I have this router. After a spontaneous factory reset, all settings were gone.
I have now reverted back to the older firmware version (without doing a factory reset again by the way).

The spontaneous reset will have removed your changes. That is why I said "default".
And the firmware downgrade had no effect. Worked for half a day. Trying another factory reset now and manually change the settings once more.
That didn't help either.
Starting to think that I'm having a broken Netgear Router or something.
