Like thick syrup

Weevie — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 14:46:55 GMT

My connection is like browsing through thick syrup - today

I have run speedtest and it appears good - except for an initial hesitation

What is going on ?

Any updates being downloaded to the router or something ?

Interestingly - just found that the NTP is failing to sync !!

Nothing going on that I'm aware of, and tests are clear. Have you tried a reboot of the router or a 30 minute powerdown to clear the session.

Thanks

Karl.

It is still slow but slightly faster than yesterday - I rebooted the router and left it for 20mins

Could you tell me how to delete an old phone that is no longer connected to the router - wirelessly - it is shown as existing but no ip address...

Also - should I disable BANDSTEERING ?

I have googled it - and it reckons that it causes more problems than it helps with network congestion

thanks

30 minutes is recommended for starting a fresh session that may improve speeds, @Weevie, not just 20.

30 minutes is a minimum.

It did pick up a new ip address - so I presume that's good enough

Bandsteering just switches between Wi-Fi frequencies for compatible devices as they move around. If this is something you do not need, you can disable it.
