I don't know a direct solution, but you might try optimizing your network settings or checking for interference. Also, ensure your router firmware is up to date. If possible, switch to a wired connection for better stability. Let me know if you need more tips!
It's likely the issue lies between the devices or with the internet connection. In the US, most links are one-way, giving quicker downloads than uploads. Providers like Comcast often give vague speed promises, so actual performance can drop significantly. For example, you might see 120 Mbps going in and only 60 Mbps coming out. If everyone around you is on the same network, bandwidth gets shared, which explains why speeds spike at odd hours.
It’s purely an internet problem. Everyone connected uses Ethernet, two units, and a PS5. I have a Verizon gigabit connection and rely on their router. A replacement is arriving tomorrow, which might help, but if not, I’m stuck. I’m also thinking about getting new network cards for both devices to check if that would make a difference.
Your ISP router is typically configured to automatically download and install updates. Restarting the router may trigger any available updates that are already downloaded. If not, navigate to the router settings using Win+, Command Prompt, or IP configuration, locate the active network adapter's default gateway, and access it via a browser—often "http://192.168.0.1" or similar. Logging into the router with its password, which is usually provided on the device or in the manual, will allow you to find the update section without much difficulty.
