I’ve been a proud owner of a Ubiquiti Dream Router for a good while now - live in a rural area so the Dream Machine would’ve been overkill for my needs.
Currently getting 300/300 from the ISP. Not bad.
Couple months ago, noticed I was getting some pretty awful speeds to my end devices, around 30/30 across the board. Wired/wireless made no difference.
Checked the periodic speed tests the UDR does, nothing; no change in bandwidth.
I hadn’t changed a setting in my router in quite a while as I’ve been happy with my setup, so I was convinced it was a fluke. Rebooted, back to semi-normal speeds (though still short).
After dealing with this for a while, tonight I finally decided to bite the bullet and factory reset the UDR. Throughput right back to normal immediately. Restored backup - throughput still where it should be.
Am I missing something obvious??
Edit - to clarify, when I checked the speeds from router to isp, I’d been getting expected bandwidth the whole time; it was only the end devices suffering.
End devices are getting expected speeds now - checked again this morning and still flying strong.
From what I’ve read, the security settings I’ve enabled would really only affect those on gigabit speeds, which I’m nowhere close to. Even still, pulling 30 when expecting 300 is a significant decrease.
