Mobile devices slow on Nighthawk R7900
I noticed that all smart phone users in my household are experiencing what appears to be very slow wireless internet speeds. When an app is opened such as Instagram it takes some time for pictures and or videos to load even though my internets speeds are 180Mbps down. All users experience the same thing. If you open the "Speed test" app on one of the smartphones it takes 1 minute for it to "find the server" before showing the "begin test" button. The crazy thing is when you run the test the download speed tests fine. If I turn wifi off on the smartphone and use the 4G and run the same app. It takes 3 seconds for the "Begin test" button to show. I am not running QOS because I have confirmed that it is broken for 5Ghz with the current firmware. Anyone else having this issue? I have tried completely reseting the router and reinstalling the latest firmware with no results. I have also tried different DNS providers with no effect as well. It also does not seem to effect my laptop.Solved8.8KViews0likes8Comments
