Brandflakes08 Posted Friday at 01:11 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:11 PM Anyone else having issues running the r3 having the internet be weird on it, not loading images in twitter or Instagram I've only set this router up 2 days ago coming from a xr1000 and tbh not to impressed with this performance as soon as I switch to mobile data or reactivate the Virgin Media ISP router wifi and use those everything loads absolutely fine. Anyone have ideas on what could be up here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandflakes08 Posted Friday at 01:30 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 01:30 PM Addition: I need to restart the router in order for it to even load images on these apps on my phone I'm sitting beside the router on 5ghz band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted Friday at 05:16 PM Administrators Share Posted Friday at 05:16 PM What speeds do you pay for/receive? It may be worth changing your DNS to 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1 and seeing if that works better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try the DNS change now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted Friday at 06:06 PM Administrators Share Posted Friday at 06:06 PM Speeds are all fine then, is there much else happening on the network when you're noticing this behavior? If so how do you have Congestion Control set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: DNS update didn't help much either I uninstalled Twitter and cleared cache still persisting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted Friday at 07:17 PM Administrators Share Posted Friday at 07:17 PM What about Congestion Control in Ping Optimizer > Advanced? Have you made any other changes to the R3 specifically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted Friday at 09:27 PM Administrators Share Posted Friday at 09:27 PM Set the download/upload down to 70% just in case. It could be the WiFi so: Split the bands, give 2.4/5GHz different names and apply - you'll want to connect to 5GHz specifically for speeds Use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and change to that Experiment with the widths to see what gives better results Ensure it's in an elevated position - not on a metal surface Ensure there aren't any electrical / wireless devices e.g headphones etc within close proximity ~3 feet if possible Set the antennae to this position _ | | _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
