iFelsie Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I tested my internet yesterday and got 50 down and 20 up. After that i rebooted my Netduma R1 and got 91 down and 20 up and now its 43 down and 10 up. why?
Dillinger Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 We need a little more information to go on Daniel, please answer these questions for us - (also, Forum Wiki on internet speed) 1) What speed do you pay for and is this input in your Netduma setup? 2) What times of the day were the tests taken? Roughly the same time for each measurement? Or spread out through a gaming session? 3) Were you using the same device to make the measurements (laptop is assumed, but you know how that goes)? 4) Were you testing hard wired from the Netduma to your laptop or were you testing wireless through the wifi? 5) What were your Congestion Control (sliders from 0-100) numbers set to when you tested? Were they the same each time you tested?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 4, 2017 Administrators Posted January 4, 2017 If you can answer the above questions that would help out a lot. Help us to figure out if it's just your internet speed fluctuating a lot - best way to do that would be direct speed tests from your ISP hub.
iFelsie Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 1) I pay for 100 down and 10 up and i got 100 down and 10 up on '' set bandwidth '' 2) Around forenoon and afternoon 3) I was using my computer when i tested 4) I use internet cable from my Netduma R1 to my computer 5) It was set to 100 and yes they was the same each time i tested
Netduma Staff Netduma Jack Posted January 4, 2017 Netduma Staff Posted January 4, 2017 Hey Daniel, could you try testing at similar times with just your Modem wired in to your PC? This'll help to rule out whether it's caused by the Netduma or not.
XSXS Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 How do you have your bandwidth set up in the netduma gui, manually or is it set to auto? I am seeing some funky speed test results when set to auto, basically the speed test will start off with some crazy UL and DL speed and then quickly drop back down to normal speeds. Then when I set my speeds manually in the gui I lose 15-20 meg DL bandwidth. I am still running tests to see what the cause is.

Netduma Staff Netduma Jack Posted January 5, 2017 Netduma Staff Posted January 5, 2017 Almost got the same but modem wired to my PC i got litte higher download. If you only got a little higher on your modem it's safe to assume that the Netduma isn't causing the issue; rather it could be the line or another variable. What exactly did the speed test say for your modem? It might be worth trying these settings if you haven't already: - Reactive Algorithm - 100% anti-flood - Share excess enabled - Reset device prioritisation & apply - Disable IPv6 in WAN, LAN & misc - Disable deep packet in misc - Enable turbo mode - Ensure the ethernet cables you're using connecting the R1 to hub & R1 to PC are Cat5e+/can handle your speeds. Try to find out whether the fluctuations are caused by the time of day, and let us know if those settings make a difference.
XSXS Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Yeah I am seeing some wacky speeds with it set to auto. I have tried just entering your speeds manually and when prompted to have the Duma do it for you select no and see what happens,
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 6, 2017 Administrators Posted January 6, 2017 Please try Jacks suggestions above, please note you shouldn't need turbo mode enabled to get your full speeds so test without first but if still unable to reach those speeds enable turbo.
XSXS Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I have it on auto So I did more testing last night on my network and I read what auto does incorrectly, I thought it also checks your internet speed when it does not, all it does from what I can tell is select reactive or preemptive algorithm and ticks a couple of boxes in misc settings like deep packet processing. I wonder what else it configures?.... Anyway, I did not see those crazy bandwidth spikes like I did before, no matter what settings I had selected so I am not sure what happened the other night. Only issue I am having is with preemptive selected I lose a good 10meg down load but my upload is unaffected no matter what settings are selected.

That's good to hear; it sounds like the spike was a one off, which isn't uncommon. Definitely keep an eye on it, but it sounds like you've got the correct settings inputted for your speeds. If you're losing 10meg download with pre-emptive then stick with reactive, that'd be best for the speeds you get anyway. And yes, automatic set-up attempts to configure your settings based on your speeds, but manually inputting settings is a more accurate way to go. Let us know if any more problems persist

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 10, 2017 Administrators Posted January 10, 2017 Has inputting the settings manually resolved your issue Daniel?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 11, 2017 Administrators Posted January 11, 2017 Great as your issue has been resolved I'll close this thread. Feel free to open another if needed
