Beasthunter8625 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 As stated in the title, I am downloading games and randomly my connection on everything will drop from about 5-6MB/s to 100-300KB/s. The connection drops and everything is slow. I've tried pausing the download and re-running the speed tests and my ping is 100-200ms (varies on each test) and my download speed, which is usually around 45-50 mbps hovers down closer to 2-5 and my upload is unaffected. The problem persists until I reboot my modem. However if I do not reboot my router at the same time the issue occurs faster than if I the router as well. Any idea on what could be causing this other than potientally being the router overwhelmed with data? The issue doesn't occur for anything else except when the files I download are very large.

Knowing your exact set-up would help in this case. For now, try these settings if you haven't already: - Pre-emptive Algorithm - 100% anti-flood - Share excess enabled - Reset device prioritisation & apply - Disable IPv6 in WAN, LAN & misc - Ensure the ethernet cables you're using work properly. - Do a wired speed test from a PC Always make sure you use a reliable speed test wired to a PC - console speed tests are inaccurate.

Beasthunter8625 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 My exact set up was everything you stated minus the IPv6 being off. After turning off the IPv6 my speeds have dropped to mere Bits and have since gone up to 60KB/s on a 60Mbps connection. All speed tests are done wired. I have tried to run a speed test directly from my Zoom 5341J doccis 3.0 modem with multiple Cat5e and Cat 6 cables. Those results came back normal. Once connecting back to the router all speeds are fine for a brief period of time and then they drop off drastically again. Currently with nothing else downloading or uploading on the connection besides my game file, I am getting the time of 6 hours for 3 gigs when on the same connection I was downloading 50gb games in under 4 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonicBoom Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 If you're downloading a game then you need to make sure you have your anti-flood slider at 100% AND you should take the console out of hyperlane. If you're running a speed test whilst you are downloading a game in hyperlane, it will return a very low bandwidth result. Hyperlane is meant for small amounts of data (gaming packets), a game download is the opposite and it will crush your bandwidth to all other devices.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 20, 2017 Administrators Share Posted June 20, 2017 As Colonic mentioned hyper traffic is the likely cause here, when downloading through hyper traffic it can cause things to break. Disable it when downloading and enable when playing, does that resolve the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disable it when downloading and enable when playing, does that resolve the issue? I don't have hyper traffic enabled. I never have. I have tried factory resetting the router, it worked great for about 2 days, then speeds plummeted again. Tried doing a reboot, worked for 15 minutes and died again. This evening I did yet another factory reset and nothing changed. Currently I'm plugged directly in to my modem (zoom 5341j doccis 3.0) and I'm running 9 MB according to steam. Once I connect my r1 I cap at 5-6MB for 3-5 minutes and then dropped to 128k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reverting the changes back, I can now access websites and speedtests however speeds are still low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
