Can the Fritz! Box 7560 handle a gigabit connection? I was using a second-hand 7490 for a couple of years on my 2Degrees gigabit connection, however it crapped out last night. Luckily I had ordered a router from 2Degrees when I signed up with them, and swapped it over. Everything connected just fine, however my speeds have dropped considerably after the switch.

 

I was getting nearly my full gigabit down and at least 200 up, but after switching to the new router, I am getting ~300 down and less than 10 mb/s upload. I have rebooted everything including the ONT and tried on two wired computers (Win 11 and Ubuntu 20) both having the same results.

 

 

My wife and I both WFH now and do video conferencing often so the upload is important. Should I contact 2degrees for a replacement router? Or am I stuck having to buy a new one? If so any suggestions that don't break the bank would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

Welp, I'm a moron. I just went back through everything to quadruple check it, and noticed the "connection settings" in the FritzBox had changed to 200Mbit/s down and 8Mbit/s up. I changed it to 1000 for both and it seems a lot better. I can't believe that's a setting and I didn't change it. It's at least better now 740 down and 131 up. Though not as high as it was, it's workable at least.

Have you followed through the sticky in the 2degrees subforum on this problem? https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=85&topicid=239862
