Are you frustrated with slow internet speeds on your Linksys WRT3200ACM router connected to your Unitymedia Connect Box? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! In this article, I’ll share some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your Unitymedia router and boost your internet speed.
The Need for Speed
You might be wondering why your Linksys router isn’t giving you the same high-speed performance as the Unitymedia Connect Box. Well, there could be a few reasons for this. Let’s explore some possible causes and solutions.
Configuration Woes
One possible reason for the speed disparity is a misconfiguration. Have you double-checked your router settings? Ensure that your router is properly configured to handle high-speed connections. If you’re not sure, don’t worry – I’ll walk you through it.
VPNs and Speed
If you’re using a VPN on your router, it might be affecting your internet speed. While VPNs offer security and privacy, they can also limit bandwidth. Try disabling the VPN temporarily and test your internet speed. If it improves, you might need to optimize your VPN settings for faster speeds.
OpenVPN and Unitymedia
You mentioned that you’re using an OpenVPN hosted by netcup.de. While the OpenVPN server speed seems impressive, it may not translate to the same speed on your Linksys router. This could be due to various factors, including network congestion or limitations imposed by your Unitymedia connection.
Check Your Network Configuration
Ensure that your Linksys router is configured to receive the correct WAN and WAN6 settings from the Unitymedia Connect Box via DHCP. Double-check your settings and make sure everything is in order. Here’s an example of a configuration:
config interface 'wan'
option ifname 'eth1.2'
option proto 'dhcp'
option peerdns '0'
option dns '91.239.100.100 89.233.43.71'Need More Help?
