Battlenet Downloads are horrible

Recommended Posts

New season of WZ is out for download, normally on my gig fiber with my old EEro routers it took 5 mins or less to download a 20gig update from battle net.  It's now downloading at a whopping 420KB/s.  yeah KB/s not MB/s........  

Smartboost on or off it's horrible.  At this rate it will download by next week.  

I'm on .23 firmware.  

Trying to be patient and not box this thing up and send it back but this is ridiculous. 

Also, could I set this router up to just handle my PC traffic to utilize NetDuma OS and go back to havnig my Eero handle all my network traffic for the rest of the house until the bugs are worked out?   I currently have the R3 Handling everything coming in and my my main Eero in bridge mode to handle the mesh network as your router is not built for bigger houses and I am assuming with the CPU already maxing out at times not able to handle smarthome devices.  3800sq ft with over 120 devices connected at any given time.  

Any help with configurations would be greatly appreciated as I really want to love this router as I bought this to play with my oldest son in another state so we could connect to servers in the middle so we would both have good pings while playing warzone.

Change the game region to Americas on Battle.net, it should download faster.... Change back after the update is done.

I don't know why, but the EU servers for updates are terrible.

I’m in US should’ve noted that. But thanks for the reply 🥰

  • So what speeds are you getting when you do a speed test? If your getting the speeds that the your provider supports this could be a server issue rather than router
  • Though to be aware there is a cpu bug at the moment related to have higher ping on fiber internet there should be a patch coming this week for that etc though I dont think that is related to download speeds...

I get 980 down and 990 up on my speed test, have yet to have the speed test in the Duma os work yet.  I called my friend who lives 2 blocks away and has the same ISP with gig fiber and told him to update his game and his finished 35minutes before mine, he is using the ISP provided ubiquity router. So I'm going with a 99.9% chance not the servers.

@DARKNESSI am going to reboot the router once my wife is done working here in a litlte bit and uninstall and reinstall call of duty to test it again.  Just did an update on Steam and the server is in atlanta Ga which is very close to me and it was also super sluggish and not as fast as usual.  
I get it, new hardware, new software and again trying to be patient as I want to really love this thing.  

 

Will report back later after I conclude this testing, I appreciate your input and again looking forward to the updates coming soon hopefully very soon.

First of all Battlenet is known for all these download issues over the last few years. I switched to Steam to play COD and OW. I would highly sugget you to do the same if you can.

That’s an issue with battlenet not the router. I’ve had this happen for months even on my Asus router previously. Is especially slows down with around 2gb. There won’t be anything you can do about it. I tried everything in the past.
