JimDuff Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Have to reset my router every single day because the speed drops 90%. A reset fixes it until the next day. Modem is a Plusnet Hub 2 in bridge mode. Factory reset has already been tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CES Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 hey, i would check around see if there are any splitters etc if so call ur isp to remove them, they cause increase in latency and reduced speeds most of which are inconsistent. another thing you can do is turn off ad blocker, i've noticed that can reduce speeds as well as checking to make sure your router isn't reserving too much bandwidth, you can check this by going to qos and looking at the sliders.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 10, 2022 Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2022 Could you put your hub in router mode and put the R2 WAN IP (found on the System Information page) into the DMZ on your hub instead? I find some implementations of bridge mode don't work as well, then see if it stops dropping your speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fine on the Hub 1 in router mode. I will try this. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 23, 2022 Administrators Share Posted October 23, 2022 Is it happening just as frequently or has it been reduced? Could you provide a screenshot of your QoS page please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 24, 2022 Administrators Share Posted October 24, 2022 If you have multiple devices using the internet you would still benefit by preventing them from causing congestion, you could notice buffering when watching videos/streams otherwise for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto is fine, that means when there's no priority traffic on the network, your speeds won't be limited by Congestion Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
