ER605 Appears to Throttle Network Speed
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
We're experiencing an issue with our ER605 Omada Gigabit Multi-WAN VPN Router. To be sure, this is a residential location and not a business location. Maybe that's the first problem. :p What seems to be happening is our broadband network speed will start out at the expected 200Mb/s for our service, but after a day of operations this is reduced to ~90Mb/s, so less than half.
After a reboot, it goes back up to the expected 200Mb/s.
Note that when I logged in this afternoon, the CPU usage was much higher than it was after the reboot. All 4 cores (if I understand correctly) were in the 20-60% utilization. After a reboot, they are nominal as expected:
I should have gotten a "before" shot before rebooting it, but assumed that was its normal operating posture. I will get a screenshot for the next time we notice degradation.
In any case, it would be nice to track this down. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

To add to my grief, I was wrong about the distance between the routers, doubling the distance. 🤦♂️ It was actually a 25ft cable and I needed a 30ft cable to make it one connection. Let's just say these past two weeks have not been my finest.
I put this in Sunday and it has been doing well.

So much so that I am prepared to brag about success (AGAIN!) here and see if it can endure such accolades.
See you in another day when the connection inexplicably fails again, or never as this time it actually worked. One of the two. 🤷♂️
