    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    It's definitely not the ram for me. I checked the CPU and RAM on multiple occasions. The ram never exceeds even 50% of the total capacity. I don't think it has anything to do with the reservations. I ran the router fully stock (besides the PPPoE config for internet) and the problem still...

    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    Could you walk me through a little better? I've configured this as you instructed, the part I get stuck on is the IPTV section. Normally after configuring the WAN/PPPoE, I then go LAN > IPTV and enter 6 in the internet section there to get my internet up and running. After following your...

    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    Thank you for your tip! I haven't been able to read the replies in a few days. I'll try this now! I've been running the ISP modem for a while and that has worked just fine in terms of speed. I've also tried the stock firmware and the new merlin firmware that came out a few days ago to no avail...

    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    Unfortunately it does not. I've consider a broken WAN port, but would find it really weird that it could work for up to 48 hours sometimes and then totally drop. If the issue persists on the stock Asus firmware, I'll consider it a hardware defect and get a new device.

    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    Just wanted to confirm that the MTU default setting did not solve the problem. The issue is here again after I changed the setting and rebooted.

    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    So I'm back to report that unfortunately your recommendations did not work. The speed halved a couple hours later. I looked through the logs as well, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Just some handshakes etc. This also made no difference, the issue still occurs. I tried the cat6...

    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    Thank you for this! I haven't gone back to the stock firmware yet, and if I understand you correctly, there's no need if I use the scMerlin addon correct? The same settings will be exposed that I need to turn off as highlighted in your first screenshot? EDIT: I see that scMerlin is quite old...

    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    I didn't know that, I'll have to source one and test this. I'll get back to you later next week! The tests are always run on multiple client devices. I only ran the "in-router" test to confirm it wasn't something in the network itself. Speeds are the same when the issue presents itself though...

    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    The node is not supported by Merlin as far as I know and is running on the latest stock ASUS firmware. I haven't looked at the logs as of yet, I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be looking for. I also don't know exactly when the issue starts since I'm not constantly monitoring. There's a...

    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    Yeah, it's one of the first things I tried to make sure it really wasn't the connection and I was just chasing ghosts. Point 3 in my opening posts refers to that. I did in fact factory reset and configured the router manually. At no point during the process did I ever use a configuration file...

    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    Do you have any idea if there was a specific commit in the firmware release that resolved it? I've tried a firmware that was perfectly fine since the latter half of last year and the issue still presents itself.

    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    Thanks for the replies guys! The provider installed the ONT when the connection was first setup years ago. I had a spare ONT that came in the box that they left behind at the time, hence I was able to swap them out and test it. I forgot to add the information to my opening post, but they also...

    Asus RT-AX88U internet speed slows down after a few days

    Hi, For the last few weeks I've been having an issue with my AX88U where me internet connection slows down considerably. My gigabit speeds go down about half (or lower) and only a reboot fixes the issue. I check this via internal speedtest tool but also directly via the speedtest.net website...
