I'm not in the habit of making changes I don't fully understand. Is "use each of the DNS servers in turn" and "using the DNS servers one at a time" not the same thing? I am assuming this is being recommended as a sort of load balancer, so that no one DNS server gets hammered? But the wording...

I'm not sure how to, which is why I'm here asking for help. I've tested with, and without DoT. It doesn't happen without DoT regardless of download speed and it doesn't happen with DoT if I restrict download speed to 300Mbps (any faster than this and it will happen). It also happens with...

Would setting up Unbound and using that as a local resolver, rather than a forwarder, circumvent this issue? Also, is it still possible to keep using DoT with Unbound in resolver mode for external lookups of domain names that aren't yet cached? I know on the Unbound page it says Just for...

Apologies - I'm still learning. So, I've disabled DoT and DNSSEC and I've successfully downloaded the game twice in a row at 450Mbps (150Mbps faster than before). This is looking promising! Now my next question is, is this a hardware limitation of the RT-AC68U not being powerful enough to...

Sadly not, unless they're being filtered out. Log settings: Default message log level = notice. Log only messages more urgent than = debug.

I've has the issue when downloading a game in both the Steam client and the Battle.net client. So it isn't Steam specific anymore. Although, in Steam, it only happens when I increase download speed above 300Mbps. I've successfully downloaded games at 300Mbps consistently (tested about 10 times...

Hi Colin, I'll try that. I'm using the same DNS server for DoT though (1.1.1.1).

Still failed with DNSSEC disabled. The download did last longer longer with DNSSEC disabled, it reached 95% and it usually fails 40-60% (I download the same game each time during testing). Any help or suggestions on what could be causing this and how to fix it?

Hey guys, I've got a bit of an odd one that has got me stumped. When downloading a game on Steam, above 300 Mbps, DNS stops working after around 10 minutes of downloading. I can still ping external IP addresses but I can't resolve any domain names (this affects all devices connected to my...

Correct. They're very common in the UK. Here it's standard practice for ISPs to ship routers to new customers. Correct again.

Thanks for confirming, Colin.

Even if you're only using one of the devices?

I don't know why I didn't think of that lol. Thanks, that did the trick! MAC address for my AC68u matches my ISP router perfectly now. I'm surprised I had a connection for all of the time that the last digit wasn't matching. I'm guessing the last digit isn't too important?

When I clone the mac address of my AC68u to the mac address of my ISP provided router, I lose all internet connection. However, if I change the last digit of the mac address I get a connection. Any idea why this happens?

I use: Gaming Streaming Web VoIP Others File transfer for my needs, it works great. I have little use for VoIP and streaming is higher up as I'm the only one using the network - if bandwidth was being shared I would place it below Web.
