Leveraging WiFi if router while router is in less than optimal area

I know, I get it! I posture a lot! However, I feel like there’s something that can still be done with my connection to make it better. It’s perfect coming from the ONT. I’ve tested it from my router app Speedtest which is built into the app. Also I’ve checked it on a wired desktop. I am absolutely getting the speeds I pay for. I do believe that my ISP is suffering from bufferbloat though. While I can’t MAKE them change it. I can and have told them the issues occurring with my connection. They assure me they are looking to it. It’s a small rural ISP so im hoping they are trying a bit harder due to the fact that they are not one of the major conglomerate ISP’s. WiFi for me seems to be a major issue. I just don’t know how to tune it right I guess every router is different. Just as every ISP, modem or ONT is different. All I can say is that my grandma is my personal care attendant and she absolutely MUST clock in and out at a very precise time in order to be paid. There is absolutely no wiggle room!!!! The company are very particular and really don’t care for excuses. I just really need to get this all working correctly. I had a field technician to my home on Tuesday and he actually witnessed how my connection over WiFi especially is acting. He provided me a brand new fiber wire to connect to the ONT also he provided me with a brand new upgraded ONT. He as well as the man he called for help were both stumped. The man he spoke with however said he would “look into it”. I hope he means it. I can’t figure the issue can be too bad since I pay for 1 gig symmetrical and when I do a Speedtest on my desktop PC, I’m getting 940+/940+ most times. Especially if I start my computer up in safe mode with networking. If I do that and I do a speed test, I get even higher than if I Speedtest with the PC connected directly to the ONT or with it connected to the router. And started up normally. I’ve tried just about everything I can think of. Something is wrong somewhere, but I just can’t seem to pinpoint as to where. And I have seen people on here who have similar issues and are stumped as well. I just I guess need to have someone help me understand what may be going on. Again, I know I’ve asked this a lot and I’m sure you guys have all provided me with the correct answers, but maybe you could find it within yourself to do it again? It’s been a very stressful 24 hours for our family! My grandmother had to be admitted into the hospital last night due to very high blood pressure. She’s home now and resting, which is wonderful but still I just really need some help here. I don’t mean to be a pest by any means. If I have bothered any of you, I wholeheartedly apologize and honestly could not apologize enough because that is not ever been my intention to irritate anyone.

Curious about something

Any of you that are members of this particular subreddit, do any of you actually work for a fiber Internet company and install the brand of ONT for a living to consumers? I have a question about my actual connection quality. I’m in a small town in Missouri with a very rural fiber ISP. It’s called Co-Mo Connect. I just had a service technician come to my house today to address some of the issues I’ve been having. He ended up not only installing brand new fiber into my home, but he also connected it to a brand new different model ONT that I have been using. Same brand just a different model. I had the Calix GigaPoint 803G. I now am using the Calix GigaPoint GP1100G. Still having very odd behavior but it seems to be only affecting Apple products. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and an Apple TV 4K wired. Upload speeds are low while download is fine.

Help please

Hi everyone, I posted on here a few weeks ago asking if anyone here used the ISP Co-Mo Connect, it is a 1 gbps fiber ISP out of Tipton, Missouri. I know that a few of you here commented back and said that you in fact, do have that ISP so I wanted to ask again because tomorrow I have one or their technicians coming to my home. I’m wondering if my issue is local to my town or if it is ISP wide or even region wide. I have tons of packet drops whenever I connect my fiber ONT into my desktop PC. I also have some whenever I have my PC going into my router. I was wondering, maybe if any of you could possibly run the same test that I ran to the same address that I used and see if you too have packet loss. I don’t mean to bother anybody, but I just thought I would ask here because this is a Missouri Reddit page. I figured nobody, but here would really have the same ISP as me. I kind of wanna know just what to tell the technician tomorrow.

I ran a standard ping test using cmd prompt and I typed ping 8.8.8.8 -t

I let it run for about three hours. I had over 101 dropped packets in that period of time.

I just had it going from my PC via an ethernet cable straight into the fiber ONT. No router was involved. If anyone who has this ISP would happen to be able to test this from your connection I would be eternally grateful to see what your results say after even just an hour. You don’t have to disconnect your Wi-Fi. Just leave your router connected and do the Ping test. Preferably on a ethernet connected PC. Thank you so much. I appreciate you all!

Ping Test Results

I have a technician visit scheduled for Tuesday. I am currently running a ping test to the Google server. I’m experiencing lots of time outs and ping spikes. Currently, I’m doing the test with my desktop connected to my router. Tomorrow I’m going to do a morning and evening test and I’m gonna do them with the PC connected directly to the fiber ONT. once I gather all the information from all three of these tests, how much irrefutable proof will I have for my ISP to actually fix the issue? I don’t want them coming here and telling me that they see nothing wrong because clearly I am looking at my PC screen right now and am seeing lots of dropped packets. What are the chances of this being that I have a very rural fiber ISP? I am suposed to be receiving 1 gbps symmetrical speeds. Every time I do a Speedtest on my PC the speeds are good. I want whatever the issue is fixed. I don’t want them wasting their time coming out here only to tell me that there’s nothing wrong. How do I apply the right amount of pressure so that they will have no choice but to fix the issue and look at each and every piece of equipment that my connection goes through?

Frequent deauths

I currently use an iPhone 11 Pro Max and an Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro router. Is there a way to stop all my WiFi devices from going offline randomly? It’s happening to all my devices. Wired too. Not all at the same time. Just throughout the day. I don’t pretend to know mush about all this stuff so I don’t know what to look for but with the research I’ve done it seems the word deauth is a dirty word and it shows up quite often in my router logs. There are other code words im finding out about too. All basically mean the router connection is not stable. Did I get a lemon? Google searches suggest this is a top of the line router.

Gigspeed Fiber + HBO Max + Apple TV 4K

Just curious, does anyone have this kind of a set up? I do and I have some issues now and again. I have some questions. How for those view that has higher than a 1 gbps symmetrical fiber Connection. When I load a show whether it’s live streaming or on demand sometimes I will get a short term loading ring before the program starts. Just trying to find out if this is normal or is it my connection?

Upload speed dropping while download speed is consistent

If anyone here knows about networking I’d love to speak with you. Just over the last week or so when I do a Speedtest on my Apple TV 4K im getting odd results. My download is very consistent while my upload is all over the place. Under normal circumstances both download and upload are pretty even. I have 1 gbps fiber. 940-941 download is my normal while usually 938-940 is upload is my normal. Recently however my download has stayed consistent while my upload has dropped to anywhere from 750-850. I know that sounds like no big deal but to me it’s odd. If I connect the Apple TV 4K directly to my fiber ONT Im getting the same type of result which is also odd. Lastly, when I connect my desktop PC to the ONT I get normal results. 940+/940. Just to rule things out I’ve factory reset my router and my Apple TV 4K. Also, I’ve spoken with my ISP and they said that from what they can see when testing my ONT themselves that it’s running perfect. I did a Speedtest a bit ago on the Apple TV and it said I had some loss. Which rarely happens. Am I getting the runaround??

Thanks for listening.

Internet Woes

This is going to sound like such a stupid question but I have Co-Mo Connect fiber internet out of Tipton Missouri. I frequently have issues such as disconnects and buffering happening on my network. If anyone here has Co-Mo Connect and knows a fair amount to a lot about networking please comment back. I have some questions. I get great speeds for the most part so I don’t know what the issue could be. I’ve contacted their tech support and they said that from what they can see everything on their end as pertains to my connection connected to the ONT box they provided me looks to be great! I’m just not sure what’s happening.

Thanks in advance. I know I’ve spoken to people in here before that either has Co-Mo Connect or knows someone who does. I don’t mean to bother you all.

Thanks again for listening.

Router Reset

I reset my Asus router today. I’m seeing some concerning things in the logs. Something is causing my WiFi devices to disconnect and quickly reconnect. Deauths too. Is this just something I have to deal with?

Upload speed reduced out of nowhere

Nothing has changed in my network setup. I started noticing my upload speed has lowered when I do a speed test with the Speedtest.net app on my Apple TV 4K. No warning and no reason. I even factory reset my Apple TV 4K to see if that would bring it back. It did not. Says it’s up to date when I check it.

DNS change by device

My router is currently using my ISP‘s DNS server but for the longest time I have been using a different one on my Apple TV 4K. I decided to change it on the Apple TV. All I did was go into Settings, Network, Ethernet and then I went down to Configure DNS and changed it from Automatic to Manual. Then I’d go below and I put the one I wanted to use. Once done I’d hit Done. I’d then unplug the cord from the box and wait 30 seconds, plug it back in and let it restart. I’d then go back and check to see if it stayed. Which it would. Now im having trouble using that method. Have they changed the way it works??

Off-Topic

Does anyone here have 1 gbps symmetrical fiber or better here? I am having some issues with my Apple TV 4K and wondering if it’s just me. It has to do with upload and download Speedtest results. I have the Speedtest.net app downloaded on the Apple TV 4K. Downloaded from the App Store. I’m noticing my upload speed on it all of a sudden much lower than the download. Ping of 3-4 ms so I don’t think that’s the issue. If by chance anyone in here is good with networking, I would call that a bonus to talk with you.

Thanks for listening.

Before the plane crash happened, did anyone ever have the opportunity or the pleasure to meet any of the band members? The originals as I call it. I was born in 1980 so of course I didn’t.
