WNDR4500v3 router QoS bug

Hi,

 

I thought I'd flag up a bug in the latest firmware (v1.0.0.56) of the N-900 WNDR4500v3 router.. QoS is causing wired ethernet connections to do weird things, slowing right down after a few minutes when connecting to the internet. Interestingly this doesn't appear to affect wifi! I ran speed tests which were initially at around 160 mbps but dropped down to 20 shortly after the router was powered up.

 

After experiencing terrible connection speeds which were causing problems connecting to Google, Spotify etc., I figured out what was going on and disabled QoS, which fixed the problem. I'll be leaving it disabled as I don't need it, but I thought I'd let you know 🙂

This appered to be a bug in firmware 1.0.0.56 affecting the ethernet ports - upgrading to 1.0.0.58 appears to have fixed it 🙂
