Hi, I’ve been using a ASUS dsl-ac66u router as my modem/router for around 6 months and was getting download speed of 9mb (same on eir isp router).
A couple of weeks ago speed dropped to 5mb, so iptv was hit and miss.
Eir engineer came out and fitted new router and was getting 7.5mb. Wasn’t happy as it was lower than I had previously, so over the phone he was able to ‘boost’ it for me to 10mb. The fact they could boost it, does that mean that could of reduced it because I’m using a third party router( no vpn).
ASUS router has the latest firmware so not sure why it lost speed. Have tried ASUS router again since they fixed it but speed is 6mb.
1. Can they alter anything their end to alter my ASUS router?
2. How can they and why do they suddenly boost/reduce speed?
Thinking I’ll stick with their modem for now and use ASUS as WiFi extender,
It would still be handy if vpn becomes a necessity in the future.
Anyone’s opinions appreciated.
