(I did a post about this before but i have new information and new questions, so i thought to create a new one to avoid confusion.I totally understand if the mods find this unacceptable and remove the post.)
I also consider replacing that router+modem combo with a decent, highly reviewed model from Germany (AVM FritzBox 7530 or 7590) but i'm not sure if the router has anything to do with this.
What i'm asking for is advice, suggestions etc...Like is the router's fault?
Is the ISP's street copper wires fault?
What should be my next move?
I'm sorry for that essay but i need to include every detail (high chance that i forgot some, i hope not important ones).
Thank you.
- So, after 1 year with a 50/5 Mbps connection, i decided to upgrade to 100/10 Mbps (download/upload).
- Since then, I've been experiencing days with way lower speeds than expected, millions of CRC Errors, periods with so many disconnections that i basically didn't have a connection.
- I contacted my ISP and they brought some technicians.They added a new cable from the street to my house and told me to bring an electrician and connect myself to that, either by replacing the current wiring or by creating a brand new outlet, isolated from the others in the house.
- I brought an electrician here and did the second option for a lot of reasons.Since then, for about a week, my speed went to 110/10 solid, but i still had hundreds of thousands CRC Errors (FEC Errors almost 0).
- The last 3 days, the speed suddenly dropped to 85-88 downstream (upstream is always 10 never changed through all this) and my errors are still thousands, but way less and no disconnections.My guess is that they reduced bandwidth in order to reduce the errors, but if it's true, i can't accept it.
- It's worth to say that, the big CRC Error increase happens in the same periods every day, except the last 3 of course.( Usually from 17:00 to 21:00 or something close to that timeline).
- In addition, the wireless performance is way worse.To make it clear, right now i'm typing this while using data and not wifi connection from my smartphone.And the router is literally next to me...It has some times of "good" connectivity and some times (mostly) of being totally unusable...Wifi Bars are maxed out in any device, speeds varies from 2Mbps download to 50, ping/jitter mostly stable and low.
