Bandwidth Issues Post Firmware Upgrade Query

[Voggie]

Has anyone else experienced the throughput issues I have experienced since upgrading firmware to 1.0.9.12 ?  It drops markedly from 200MBs to 30MBS max using both bands and also directly wired. Reverting to V1.0.9.6 sorts issue - but not happy to run on that ith KRACK issue.  Unable to report direct to tech support as out of 90 days 😉

Hello and thanks.  I did a reset to factory and upgrade to latest firmware version and noted that B/W issue resolved. When I applied configuration from backup taken prior to this,same B/W issues on wireless and also direct wired.  Determined by a process of elimination that issue was that I has been using QoS optionsonprevious build. Disabling QoS and re-enabling saw new options appear, and decided toleave disabled. When disabled issue is resolved with original config uploaded. So in conclusion have decided to leave QoS disabled, and may look at this at a later stage. Happy I have patched and have B/W back 😉

Thanks again

I assume that this is wifi speeds. You don't say.

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 a factory reset is the first thing to try if you have problems with new firmware.

If it isn't too late, and you aren't locked out completely, first note down the settings – screen grabs can help here.
