Upload woes.
Hello all.
My upload is only 18Mbps on a 350Mbps package. I have the SuperHub 3.0 in modem mode, and a Linksys router doing all the grunt work for Wi-Fi etc. Upstream Max Traffic Rate shows: 38500089 But something is just off. Technical support said they'd push a config file to my router, and reboot it - and to expect an update within 24 hours. But nothing has happened. Any advice? |

50% is too much of a coincidence. Have you been able to achieve full speed before? I only ask because Linksys haven't made any new routers for a while now and if your router is a few years old I am wondering if 18mbits is its max. https://www.cableforum.uk/images/local/2020/09/4.png |

So I've never had above 18Mbps, which is what leads me to believe it's very much a Virgin issue. I'll scale back the network this evening, and put the SuperHub back into router mode, to see what's achieveable. Whilst my Linksys router is a couple of years old, I wouldn't expect an upload bottleneck on it - but you never know. I'll get that checked out. I'll report back once it all goes tits up. |
Re: Upload woes.
Dont faff around with your network. Just disconnect your pc from the switch or linksys router it is connected to and directly connect it to the shub (and disconnect the linksys from the shub. You'll need to reboot the shub and when it comes back up your pc will be the only device connected to the shub and i am fairly confident that if you run your speed test you'll get full speed. After that you can then play around with your router and switches by process of elimination to see which one is the culprit.

Re: Upload woes.
Just isolated to the SuperHub & PC.
37Mbps upload. Connected the Linksys back up. Back to 18Mbps. We have our culprit. Time to go router shopping. Ugh. Cheers for your help. |

When you have got a network as your described with switches, many wired devices as well as all sorts of wireless devices (phones, laptops, tablets etc) you want a router that is happy to handle all of that and do it without breaking a sweat. I have got all that plus networked Sky boxes, tv's and two NAS' and my Asus router has never ever had a single problem with it. I defo wouldn't trust the shub with all of that. It has just fainted listening to me talk about it ;) |
Re: Upload woes.
I purchased the ASUS RT-AC88U. The reason being it had 8 network ports which suited my needs. The stock firmware is easy to use and has lots of features. Wireless is pretty good and a lot better than the SH3.
My only reservation is the turning on of the A.I protection by Trend Micro. It’s collecting lots of data and sending it to the Trend Micro servers. It doesn’t say what information it’s collecting. |

Re: Upload woes.
Thanks for the router suggestions all.
Strangely enough, my Xbox is the only device that's seemingly getting 37Mbps upload through the Linksys router. I'm wondering if I've buggered my own network with device prioritisation rules. I'm going to mess about with it. UPDATE: Changed my device prioritistion settings, and I have my full upload available now! What a donut. |
