Author Topic: My router slows down to a crawl ~once per day (Read 1301 times)

That is, my ping skyrockets to like 3s for a while and then it returns to normal. It has been like this for a while now. Yes, I have the latest firmware.

I've got an ASUS RT-N56U, any suggestions for fixing it?

You mean a crawl...

I recomend turning it off for a few hours/days.

If that doesnt work, you should contact your support for the router.

Yes, sorry. I was tired and it's fixed now.

Not really an option for me. I have, however, already tried turning it off for shorter periods of time.

"a while" being how long?

Maybe 5-10 minutes or so.

It could be that it's overheating

Is your internet speed horribly slow?

When that happens, yes. Otherwise, no.

Jacob 123456789 · May 31, 2012, 04:41:17 PM

Are you on it like 24/7?

Does it happen at the same time every day?

Did you re-write the firmware yourself in Python?

Your router supports cron script right? Write a script to restart it at like 2AM daily. I restart my router about once per week, I see a boost when I do.

When routers do things like this they are usually lemons.
