    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    You are right. That was on my laptop with the VPN client. I'm right at half that with the Flint. According ipv6leak.com my ipv6 is not leaking.

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    Got everything back to normal. ISP had to come out and rewrire and ground something. Now download speed is 897.70 Mbps down and 46.39 Mbps up ON wireguard! Thanks for everyone's help. Much appreciated.

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    Only the 3 firesticks and my laptop are routed through the VPN. Everything else goes through the CM gateway. We got gig service because it was cheaper than the previous service (at least for 1 year anyway).

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    The main reason I trust them more than my ISP is the fact that I have never received a letter from them for downloading copyrighted material. I have from my ISP. Yes. I know that certain sites don't work correctly on VPN. I also know TorGuard is not the most secure for torrenting and supposedly...

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    I don't either but others are on the network I'm trying to secure from our ISP. I'm not 100% sure if they are sharing content. Hence my post. Please take no offense. I'm not here to split hairs. Simply to gain knowledge.

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    Thank you. I'll try several of those in the morning. I'll be happy if I get back to 80-90Mbps. I do have a subscription to Mullvad but they don't play well with Philo or Real-debrid.

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    Yes. I have tried changing servers myself through config changes. And even different VPN companies completely and without VPN to no avail. I'm not asking how to use a VPN. Thanks. I've been using one or three since 2012. Unfortunately you have to trust someone. I don't trust any ISP. I have been...

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    I agree but it was faster before my ISP went to gig speed. I don't know what I am doing. That's why I opened this up. Thanks for the reply.

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    Thank you. I thought so too. I have a Cat6 from my CM gateway to the Flint and 3 more Cat6 cables from the Flint to various devices. Only a few cell phones are connected to the CM gateway WiFi.

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    This CM is acting differently than the one before it. It has 4 ports and when the VPN is on, they are all showing the VPN IP address. The wireless of the CM does not. It shows my ISP's IP. I'm pretty much a noob and not sure if it's supposed to be like that. My prior CM had 4 ports also but only...

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    Here's the strange thing. My Flint downloaded faster before I got gigabit internet. The CM change slowed it down. Any input on that?

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    I haven't bought anything yet. Still trying to figure out what would be the best bang for my buck

    VPN for the LAN. I wish it were just a single device

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    Do you think the Asus RT-AX86S would run any faster? I'm beginning to question my Flint's capabilities.

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    With the VPN off my speeds are 403.8 Mbps down and 40.4 Mbps up. Through the Flint is 30 Mbps down and 30 Mbps up. I am not allowed to buy my own CM per my ISP which makes me suspicious that they are doing something to throttle me

    any idea why my downloads are slow?

    Hello. I know there are many, many variables at play here but I use a GL.iNet Flint VPN router that uses Wireguard config files and Torguard VPN. It is connected to my new ISP (cablelynx) supplied Arris DG3450 cable modem. All connections are ethernet cat6. I use no WiFi whatsoever. Even my...

    Best router for Wireguard out of the box?

    I use Mullvad too. And there is no need to subscribe. You can Just pay ~$5 a month and if you're not happy, you're only out ~$5 instead of ~$69 for Nord. You can even mail in cash to Mullvad if you want.

    Best router for Wireguard out of the box?

    I honestly don't know why big companies can't or wont do something similar or even better. I got my Flint for around $105 USD and so far It's easily the easiest and best router I have ever owned. I don't get the speed yet but that's my ISP. I cant't wait for fiber to see just what it will be...

    Best router for Wireguard out of the box?

    I think my GL-iNet Flint GL-AX1800 has a IPQ6000 quad core ARM processor @ 1.2GHz supposedly capable of WG speed up to: (copied from GLiNet's website but I also know they inflate these numbers) WireGuard Max. 667Mbps OpenVPN Max. 112Mbps We'll see just how fast when fiber arrives in my...

    Best router for Wireguard out of the box?

    Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I guess I'll have to wait. I really don't want to go back to a SFF type of device. Simply not user friendly.
