RBK852 Cannot do a speedtest

[johnny5126]

Under Qos setup in AP mode, when I try to test the speed, I get the error:

The Speedtest failed to detect the bandwidth, please check your Internet connection or try again later.

I get internet service, can use speedtest.net or the app on my phone, so its not internet service.  Any ideas?

Try setting the IP and DNS to Dymanic instead of Static...

What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

Is the RBR set for static or dynamic IP and DNS addressing? I saw this issue late last year while in AP mode while using Static IP and DNS addresses. Works when using Dynamic addressing. NG fixed this in a later version of FW.

I just updated to the latest firmware when I got these 2 days ago. It's set to AP mode, static ip, dns 1.1.1.1.

And that fixed it and the NTP server as well.  Another bug that needs to be squashed....

IT has been. You can wait for next FW update or ask for the beta. 

Enjoy.

I asked but never received a response.

I have the 852 in AP mode behind an ASUS router-when you go to the page in the RBR GUI which changes the RBR/RBS to AP mode it specifically says "Static" not recommended-I have used dynamic with the most recent firmware release and a couple betas without speedtest issues. FYI

IT has been. So you can use either Static or Dynamic. You can wait for next FW update or ask for the beta.
