New Around Here
I have recently noticed a speed issue on a wired connection to my router. The connection goes from my newish alienware laptop, ac powered, via fuji labs 24awg cat.8 s/ftp cable (these cables are used throughout) to a qnap 2.5 Gb/s unmanaged switch, from the switch to the 2.5 Gb/s lan port configured as lan on the router. The router's wan is connected to a fiber gateway with 1Gb/s connection. I have no qos or anything ai settings enabled. IPv6 is enabled because I read somewhere that limiting from the router is not enabled with ipv6 enabled. Nat is enabled and a few ports forwarded for my synology nas. The nas remains off most of the time.
The issue I have notice is that while d/l'g from my usenet provider I only get a maximum of 369 bps behind my router, mostly. On rare occasions it will hit 500 - 650 bps. If I unplug from the switch/router and go directly to the gateway I get 500 - 700 bps consistently. I have bypassed the switch and plugged directly to the router and speeds remain the same as connected to the switch. I have checked the cpu utilization under network map system status/ status tab, while d/l'g and utilization is almost nil. I am on the most current firmware (3.0.0.4.388_23285) and I have also done a factory reset via the admin >restore/save/upload setting tab, restore option. I have rebuilt the router with the most minimal settings and retested the speed and the results were the same. As you may have determined I am not your average user and I am fairly certain it is the router causing the issue, but the question is why? The router is obsessively limiting my speeds even though it should not be. This is supposed to be a fairly high end router and it is way less than a year old. I have submitted feedback to asus via the feedback option in the router a couple of days ago. I am tempted to try Asuswrt-Merlin firmware. I am also tempted to try a gt-ax6000.
Did I miss something? Is there anything else I could/should do?
Very frustrated
