The title says it all. I have an Asus router which can handle the speeds (rt-ac86u). Prior to the upgrade I was getting 200+mbps.now i am being 86mbps. Before I phone up spark I wondered if anyone had any suggestions I could try out.

So far I have unplugged and switched off and restarted router and ONT.

Cheers all.

Fixed ... sort of - no Auckland server on speedtest.net at the moment (probably due to rain) and for some reason the website decided to slect a Timaru website and not spark in Wellington which is showing a download speed of 850 mpbs.

Yeah wouldnt suggest rain will be affecting that one.
Maybe when it was pinging servers to find the closest it had a few spikes. Not testing over WiFi now are we?
