Spectrum throttling router or WNDR3700v2 bug?
Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2022 6:33 pm
ver 1.13 - no plugins/vpn/qos etc
Spectrum gave our area the 'free' upgrade to 300 a while back and I seem to remember pulling 300/10 as a result no problem.
I decided to upgrade to 500/20 which required a new modem and now big problems.
Without any setting changes I was getting 90/20. After trying to spoof another mac address and fiddling with settings to no avail I figured I would try a fresh flash.
On fresh 1.13 flash with connect via:disabled, lan DHCPv6 disabled I pulled 150/20. Then I changed connect via to DHCPv6 and pulled 320/25 one time. Subsequent runs are back to 150-120 range and sirq is hitting 99% on download.
Interestingly, if I change the setting back and rerun as soon as the router finishes updating settings, I again hit 350 one time and subsequent runs are in the 100s.
