R6100, I keep losing IPV6 connectivity
Greetings Gear Group :manindifferent: Running Windows 10 Pro 64bit 1607... I just noticed this 2 or 3 weeks ago. My Samsung Galaxy S6 Always had a link speed of 867 Mbps. One day it was slow ...
Hi ckbeme,
1. Please try disabling QoS entirely and check if the issue persists.
2. Please make sure that you are using WPA2 for security to get the optimum speed.
3. Please make sure that your devices are connected to the 5GHz band since the 2.4GHz band is only up to 300Mbps.
4. The current router that you have does not have Gigabit ports so you will need to upgrade in the event that you switch to the new service.

Hey Dexter,
Thanks for the advice. I've disabled QoS, we'll see how it goes.
And I'm definitely getting a new Router that has Gigabit LAN ports. I'm even thinking of getting a Wi Fi adapter for my desktop. I have verified that my DOCSis modem is plenty fast enough for the new
speeds.
And yes, all of my devices connect to the 5 Ghz speed except my network printer. It can only handle 2.4 band. I can't even find in the specs what wireless speed it supports, or what mode of wireless it has.
But it doesn't like the 5Ghz band.
Thanks again for your help.
