Hi I am currently using my Plusnet hub 2 with wireless turned off and R3 connected via an Ethernet cable, should hub2 be in bridge mode?? I did try but couldn’t get an internet connection. Do I need Plusnet username and password to put in the R3?? thanks

I have exact same issue and people in this post, is there a way to fix lag when anybody in the house watches a video which only takes up 20% of my download speed?

OK av been messing bout and can’t get it to work proper, my son is on pc, gaming and chatting using about 3mbps up and down max. I have his pc set to priority all ports 1 to 65335 or what ever it is, also have gaming set to 1000 top priority but when start my Xbox game update he starts lagging instantly yet my download speed is only 200mbps and my download speed is over 800, should this be happening or am I doing something wrong? might have to reset and start again ??

On ping plotter av had to drop me speed from 800 down to 260 down, the upload from 110 to 56. lost a lot of download speed is this normal, back in the r1 days it was always the upload that caused lag but mine is all happening on downloads at the minute

Trying now, how do I reserve bandwidth.

Av tried all sorts mate, had an r1 and used to love how you could give each device there own internet and not share, gutted when I can’t find it on latest r3. this is whats happening, am playing fc25 pinging 12ms to the server, in game ping is 12-15 but when she’s watching Netflix it’s jumping up to 60-70ms. It’s only downloading Netflix at 2.5 or 25 Mbps can’t remember what it said but ave got nearly 600Mbps spare not getting used and it’s still lagging. I could ply on virgin media router and it wouldn’t lag when she was watching. any ideas? Ping optimiser is telling to to up my download cap so av set it higher

Can I heck sort my bufferbloat out, getting a grade D. I have halted my speeds down to 400 from 800down and 50 from 100 up. any ideas

It’s was fibre to the wall of the house but same cable as sky tv Ariel the screw in type from the inside wall to the router. (So basically 1metre of copper on the end of the fibre).Plusnet is fibre to the router. Both gave the full 1000 down 110 up speeds but Plusnet about 10 ms faster ping

My virgin was a new install 3 years ago, dug the street up so it was all the latest gear.

Same server in Newcastle on Plusnet is 13ms

I think virgin has a minimum ping becouse I would ping loads of servers round the UK and and the lowest was I could get was 23 on the server 5 miles away in Newcastle upon Tyne. London was 40ish

Av just got rid of virgin for plusnet fibre to the premises, the ping is better but fifa plays terrible now, ping spikes every 20 secs or so. Wish I never changed but it’s half the price. hoping it’s the hub2 becouse I have an r3 coming this week.

i believe host advantage holps me loads
