I recently switched to Fios from Optimum. Only having 75/75mbs from Optimum, I thought verizon would be a homerun with gigabit considering I have over 10 devices in the house sharing the connection. It's been roughly 2 weeks and boy am I wrong.
I have 6 tv boxes, and a split connection with the internet. I have the G1100 router on 1 end of the house and the actiontec WCB6200Q on the other end connected via coax cable. Problem is, Whenever someone, JUST ONE PERSON, is either streaming netflix( I capped this to .3 gb an hour, which is SD not HD) or even just listening to music on Pandora, the internet is extremely slow. I mean slow to the point where webpages take a while to load and forget about gaming as pings spike from around 25 to 200+. This is odd, because when I do ping tests and speedtests when everyone is home and using devices, there is no problem, even on wifi im getting 300-400mbs per device. When I used Optimum, I had no issues at all with people using the wifi, no hiccups on any device streaming or playing games. The only issue was obviously the very low download speeds as downloading movies/games/music took forever. This problem is happening on all electronics in the house. One is in use, the others aren't smooth.
Has anyone had issues with this? I've tried everything and im ready to rip it out of the wall. Now since 2 days ago, I can't even use the internet when no one is home. Music streaming is choppy, Game pings are insane, even sending texts on your phone over wifi is slow, forget about movies.. and this was all tested during off peak hours (Early AM and very late at night too). Some help would be greatly appreciated... only other thing i can think of is removing the WCB6200Q and using my Nighthawk as a router paired with the netgear extenders to see if that helps.
