Issues with 1gbps internet connection Experiencing slow performance or buffering on your 1gbps internet plan.
I subscribed to Bell fibe 1gbps ftth with the HH3000, everything is fine so far but there is something really weird happening, I'm certainly doing something wrong. As you can see in the attached pictures the bandwidth is 1gbps and consistant tested from the HH3000 itself. But when I test it on my devices I have weird results, using 2.4ghz and 5ghz (both AC and N) and ethernet. I have significantly less bandwidth through WiFi, that's expected (i still find odd that the AC doesn't give better results than the G or N and why do I always have the upload speed higher). With ethernet I can't reach more than 300mbps in download and 700 in upload. I tested it with two macbook pro (2013 and 2018), same result. I set all the ethernet ports on both ends to 1000 full duplex. Is there a bottleneck somewhere? How can I get something like 800 for both up and down via ethernet?
I'm experiencing the same problem with Speedtest, but I consistently achieve better scores using DSLreports.
I just tried it and the outcomes were encouraging. I also checked speedtest and fast, plus a control test.
You're checking if the issue is with the HH3000 itself and whether other users face the same problem. It seems like you're considering alternatives, possibly higher speeds, and wondering if a router can boost performance beyond its rated limit.
Unless you intend to switch to the 1.5gb plan later, focus on locating routing gear capable of managing VLAN tagging and PPPo at gigabit rates. Consider using a fiber-to-Ethernet converter or a router supporting an SPF module, possibly with NAT rules and filters. To achieve 1.5gbs speeds you’ll need a router or NIC that supports 2.5gbs synchronization, which is limited. Right now I’m using a MikroTik RB-3011 to work around the 1gb fiber, but it’s tricky to set up unless you’re comfortable with command-line tools. PF-Sense is another viable choice, but verify the NICs you plan to use, as PPPo at gigabit isn’t universally supported due to FreeBSD driver constraints. It’s best to invest in a dedicated enterprise router (buy, build, or virtualize) paired with a switch—enterprise devices usually include both. If you must use your own hardware, check the options here: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r322939...r-for-1-5G. Sorry if my ideas seem scattered, it’s still early for this discussion.
Consider whether your router supports Quality of Service settings. I noticed my 1Gb/sec symmetrical fiber only showed around 350 download and 600 upload speeds during tests. After adjusting the guest Wi-Fi bandwidth limits—which is a QoS feature—I saw much better performance, near 950 download and upload. It seems most consumer routers struggle with QoS while handling high data rates.
