There isn't a one size fits all for internet or any router honestly. It depends on if you have fiber, docsis, etc etc... what your provider is, what your speed is, what is your personal preference on what you want to achieve from the router.

Try connecting the homepod to the 5ghz network and see if that fixes it.

For my setup I directly connected from the ONT to the R3. Under WAN: Changed the MAC address to match the Google provided gateway Changed DNS to the best one for me (1.1.1.1 primary, 8.8.8.8 secondary) Disabled upstream DNS Manually keyed in MTU to 1500 Left IPv6*ENABLED* (IPv6 is a toss up on if it's better or worse to have on or off. For my fiber connection, it's proved to be better in the long term.) LAN settings: Left IPv6 *ENABLED* (IPv6 is a toss up on if it's better or worse to have on or off. For my fiber connection, it's proved to be better in the long term.) UPnP enabled Internet rules settings: DO NOT SET ANY INTERNET RULES, DELETE ANYTHING WITHIN HERE. This broke my wifi speeds, wired speeds by literally in half. RGB lighting settings: Turned all off due to stability issues I have ran into with the router Geo filter settings: Disable steady ping Enable geo location Enable strict Ping optimizer settings: Set everything to 100% Congestion control mode set to low latency Speed test bypass is enabled at the moment/on/currently Red Smartboost settings: Turned on smartboost Simple mode enabled Removed all activities and devices Adblocker settings: Manually disabled every device in adblocker Then turned off adblocker. System information: Confirm/set time zone to your timezone Turned off all protection/protocols in troubleshooting and disabled telemetry under troubleshooting. With these exact settings I get these results consistently get 950-980 Mbps through ookla or directly through router speed test. Wireless I'm now getting 750+ Mbps and 4ms ping (when pinging the Texas Google fibers server of course

What type of connection do you have currently? Fiber? What speeds are you expecting, and who is your ISP?

There is a known issue with bridge mode and trying to use the 10g port, make sure your only using lan 1 port when using bridge mode on your device

Are you plugging into the lan port 1 or the 10G port.

Agreed, the sfp is directly feeding into the "hub" it looks like someone mentioned on Reddit that it may use vlan, but I'm not quite sure it's the same box. I wonder if using a sfp converter like this could bypass it?

Are you plugging into the 10g port or lan1? https://forum.telus.com/t5/Home/Bridge-Mode-Using-Your-Own-Router/ta-p/52181

Unless he has an all in one, that's why I asked if he has 2 boxes or just one 🙂

I reviewed telus website also, maybe I'm misreading this, but it's definitely 2 separate items based on these photos, and the factor it states that you connect the ont to the modem.

The Mac address is located on the outside of the device, should be easy to find on the bar codes. On your telus connection, do you have an ont that then connects to a modem?

I would see if you can bypass the modem all together by using the max address clone feature on the R3. Key in the same Mac address as telus fiber modem your connecting to, and see if that works. Also, can confirm you're on the largest .41 update.

With my Google fiber, and after a lot of tinkering I was able to to get identical speeds/better speeds as I would get through the provided gateway. Better to start with one thing at a time, versus trying to get bufferbloat, speeds, ping, etc etc done all at once. For my setup I directly connected from the ONT to the R3.

So many questions with so little information being provided. Couple of quick questions, and one particular one: Who is your ISP? you said you put your ONT box into full bridge mode.. How? The ONT box just converts fiber into Ethernet, that goes to the modem/gateway. I have Google fiber, and I just plugged directly from the ONT to the router. Why not just plug the R3 directly to the ONT? What update are you on? Do you have any internet rules enabled? If so disable them When you reboot the router, are you going back into DumaOS to disable speed test bypass? Have you disabled steady ping? When you reboot the router, do you go back to DumaOS and disable steady ping? Have you disabled all of the protection and spanning tree protocols in troubleshooting? Do you have a log file? What is your DNS set to? IPv6 enabled or disabled at WAN? IPv6 enabled or disabled at LAN?
