    Isp ipv6 to asus ax82u

    Never used the supplied router and tbh I'm reluctant to try as everything works fine, large files excepted! This means I'm hesitant to raise the issue with Sky as the first thing they'll have me do is connect their router lol. My current 'workaround' is to pause any very large file when it gets...

    Isp ipv6 to asus ax82u

    I ran some tests back in early October and there wasn't much difference in speed with or without a VPN (most of the time I'm using the VPN as it auto connects whenever I boot my PC). I'm on a 900 Mb plan and with Nord engaged usually manage around 850, tested with Ookla; the test you linked...

    Isp ipv6 to asus ax82u

    Yep, I even raised a thread here to see if anyone could identify any problems with my AX1100 and I followed advice given, which included a complete reset of the system. The thread is here https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ax1100-dropping-internet-connection.81135/#post-793305 Initially I...

    Isp ipv6 to asus ax82u

    Don't believe the claims by Sky that they've stopped or don't throttle, it's BS. It kicks in around 40gb. Never had any problems with BT who I was with for a couple of years previously, so I've just got to live with it for the duration of the contract :(

    Isp ipv6 to asus ax82u

    I'm with Sky and use a combination of an AX11000 connected to the ONT and a couple of XT8s. Like you I tried using IPv6 as it's available on Sky. However, it didn't take me long to realise I wasn't actually getting any benefit at all and the disadvantages soon became apparent, not the least of...

    AX1100 dropping internet connection

    So sorry to hear you've been having similar problems to those I had. Like you after I upgraded to the latest Merlin FW the connection to my ISP was unstable and my Sonos speakers also played up (not connecting properly, not responding to voice commands) and my satellite boxes wouldn't function...

    AX1100 dropping internet connection

    I couldn't figure out what that mac address was until my brother came round for his usual morning coffee today and realised it's his mobile phone. He's only here for about 30 minutes each day. As per your earlier suggestion I'm going to do another hard reset on the router as one of my Sky...

    AX1100 dropping internet connection

    After this morning's slowdown I downloaded the log which I attach as requested; the slowdown was about 10.25. I do look at the logs but can't usually work out what most of the entries mean apart from the most basic stuff.

    AX1100 dropping internet connection

    Hi and thanks for the quick response. I hard reset the router and the XT8s and completely started from scratch. I set up the router first and then, later in the day, added each of the XT8's one at a time (again from scratch). I did some random download tests afterwards (yesterday) and all was...

    AX1100 dropping internet connection

    Over the last couple of days my otherwise previously faultless AX11000 has been losing speed and dropping the connection to my FTTP broadband. I changed provider over a month ago (from BT to Sky in the UK) and all was good for the first 4 weeks or so. The problem seems to occur if I'm...

    It's 13 inches by 13 inches (or 33cm x 33cm) and 7 inches (17 cm) high including the antennas.

    That's about the only thing I haven't tried. Will give it a go, thanks.

    smart connect and roaming assist

    Thanks for the info. I'm using the latest Merlin FW on both the router and node and do the usual resets when installing/upgrading etc, all to no avail. Generally speaking I tend to leave most of the settings as the default and virtually everything, aside from the Sky boxes, work fine. I'm...

    smart connect and roaming assist

    I've never had much success with binding. I have 5 Sky Q boxes around the house (static satellite TV boxes, the main box and 4 mini/relays in different rooms) which communicate with each other via their own mesh system. They all usually sit connected to my AX11000 and work well. However, for...
