So I have had this router for almost two years and have had nothing but issues with it. I should have 150 mbps up and down and I do once I reset my router. But after a couple hours it limits my upload to like 1mbps. I have everything off on the router. I am at my wits ends with this damn thing. I have not tried merlin. I might look into loading that up. I have replaced my cat 6 cables twice. I get my Verizon fios straight from the ONT to the router with a CAT6. I recently got express VPn and with that on the router I can forget about fast speeds. anyway anyone have any recommendations?
