So i have been on the one broad band 2.2Gb service for a few weeks now.
i am using an Asus GT-AXE16000 router,
I have got it to work etc, However I cant seem to find anywhere what settings you should change in the multiple options on the router it self. I mean there is so many I just want to make sure it is all connected/Setup in the best possible way to get best results,
I have contacted TOB support and there reply was we don't know/support 3rd party routers. i asked them for specific setting they require for there service.
Basic Config - Enable WAN: yes / no - Enable NAT: yes/no
WAN DNS Setting - DNS Server: - Forward local domain queries to upstream DNS: - Enable DNS Rebind protection: - Enable DNSSEC support:
Prevent client auto DoH: - DNS- over-TLS Profile: The default is [ Strict ] mode. In Strict Mode, only allow the use of a DNS server if the identity of the remote server can be authenticated. In Opportunistic Mode it will attempt to authenticate, but will still use that server if it fails to authenticate its identity , allowing name resolution to still work properly.
Account Settings PPP Authentication: - The default is [ Auto ]. Other options are [PAP] and [CHAP], which are used to verify the identity of the PPP device. - MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unit(MTU) of PPPoE packet. The default value is 1492.MRU: - The Maximum Receive Unit(MRU) of PPPoE packet. The default value is 1492. Internet Detection: Options are [ Disable ], [ PPP Echo ], [ DNS Probe ]
Special Requirement from ISP
Enable VPN + DHCP Connection: - Extend the TTL value - Spoof LAN TTL value
Also depending on what speed test I use I get very different results. That is why I am thinking maybe I need to change more Detailed options on the router it self.
I am connected to the ONT using a 2.5Gb port.
Then connected to my pc using a 10Gb port.
Any and all info help support would be amazing
Cheers Tom

Well it sounds stupid but I think so yes.
Firstly my speed tests on a 10gb wired connection i am getting wildly different results.
Also i can never seem to get the results i got when i used there silly little eero thing. That got on its own internal speed test 2400 odd up and down.
On this one asus on its internal I get around 1800 odd down and 900-1500 up.

You could try moving the connection from the 2.5 Gbps port to the 10 Gbps Ethernet port.

Yea I will give that a try. Depends if the ont port is faster than 2.5gb.

I also don't make many changes, but I do always set up the IPv6 options, they are normally turned off by default.

Do you find it makes a difference at all

You could check your resource monitor to check how many IPv6 connections you might have if it were enabled. Many of them are Microsoft sites for Edge and Windows updates.
Yes, I have to think it does help.

This router has been around a while now. It should not be giving you the problems that you noted. Please verify it is updated to the latest firmware, and make sure QoS is turned off/disabled. If that doesn't fix the issue, I'd suggest a hard/factory reset then re-setup.

Turn QoS off I thought that was a good application.
Does it course issues then.
