Delay in Connecting to Computers

2020-07-18 19:32:56

Model: Archer C2300

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

For some reason, there is a 3-5 minute delay when booting our PCs until we get internet connection. It happens for both mine and my son's PC computers but not for my husband's Mac.

It did not used to occur with a prior router but started when we installed the C2300. Now when we start our computers, we literally have to sit and wait 3- 5 minutes before we have internet. Eventually it connects but... why the long delay? How can we speed up the router connection to our computers???

It is driving us nuts. Thanks.

Hello,

Please ensure the C2300 firmware is up-to-date, and it is suggested to ensure the wireless adapter of your computers are up-to-date as well.

May I know what is the operating system of your computer and your son's? Are they both connected to the C2300 via wireless? Basically, how long it will take to connect to the internet depends on the computer or adapter setting, there is no much we can do on the router itself.

BTW, may I know the model number of your previous router? Any special setting on it for the local devices, such as DHCP address reservation? You may try to set the Address reservation for the two computers and check if it makes any difference:

May it helps.
