SM961 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 What does this mean? Warnings: Instant download speed has dropped far below the running average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 5, 2017 Administrators Share Posted June 5, 2017 Sounds like exactly what it says that the download rate dropped very suddenly. Repeating the test did you get it every time or was it just a one off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Are you running this test wireless or wired? I would recommend wired. Results more dependable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repeating the test did you get it every time or was it just a one off? My modem is a TC-7610, repeating the test I get the same error. I switched to differents browsers and it's the same error. No wireless connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PharmDawgg Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I am not sure if this is your case but I know I was having issues with my antivirus interfering with my test. Just spit-balling though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tests were fine until I switched modems, I don't have antivirus on my computer, I also don't believe in antivirus. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's weird because the 7610 is used by quite a few on this forum without this issue. Must be something else we're missing or maybe a bad modem.

TrayDay Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Actually, this one is my third one in two days. I know I do a speed test from my other desktop. Have you tried resetting to factory settings in the back of the router with a pin after it resets after choosing "Factory Reset" in the misc. settings? Also trying one step at a time, checking speeds with it directly wired to modem first, then plugging it back into the router, rebooting the router, to get the new assigned ip of the netduma. or you could take it a step further, as it wouldn't hurt to try is changing the mac address of the duma in the WAN settings to that of your PC when you check the mac address of your PC when its directly connected to the modem with command prompt, ipconfig /all get the mac and input that into the Netduma Wan settings and see if that might work. Sometimes off the wall things seems to be somewhat of a thing with the Duma, until next firmware is established. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM961 Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 I will try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM961 Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 I did a factory reset on my computer, I reinstalled Firefox, Chrome browsers and still got the same error, but then I tried Microsoft Edge and boom! no more error. So I don't know what is going on with those two browsers right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3M!X Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Im kinda on the same boat. Switched to the same modem and now my BB test results are crap. I went from A+ to C. Can someone help me here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrayDay Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I did a factory reset on my computer, I reinstalled Firefox, Chrome browsers and still got the same error, but then I tried Microsoft Edge and boom! no more error. So I don't know what is going on with those two browsers right now. I don't know as the problem does happen to me as well. Example: I have adguard as my anti-virus on my system. When it's turned on, and I do speedtests on dslreports. My upload would skyrocket way above my ISP package plan. But if I disable t and re-do the speedtest. It's normal, and this is using chrome. Also, I do get different bufferbloat results with Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Edge does seem to give a better result. Could be chrome using extensive load on your PC since each tab is another load on it, compared to Edge. Firefox does a little same but Firefox sometimes a bit more reliable, all could just come down to the CPU really and how the browser utilize it.

fuzzy clam Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I get the same error on occasion,I just close DSL and re open it and it fixes the issue.My guess is it's something to do with anti-virus or pop up blocker, ad blocker etc. Or could be an issue on DSL's end and they got it sorted already.

Now the one that is misbehaving is the Edge browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
