Long story short, I'm wondering if my router is going bad, at least on the wireless side, or if it's something else.
Current router setup:
Internet -> Arris SB6190 modem -> Netgear R7000 -> All networked devices
Networked devices:
1 PC - wired
1 Xbox - wired
1 Xbox wireless
1 tablet
2 phones
1 baby monitoring camera (newest addition)
The reason to believe it's something else:
Our cable box for the TV in our living room supports Netflix and Amazon Prime. We get really bad quality at times when going through the cable box when streaming. I haven't seen anything bad happen during regular live TV watching as of yet, other than the UI for the cable box being slow on a very very VERY rare occasion or freezing up. But powering it down and starting it back up fixes that issue.
My internet connection normally hits the 200+MBps range without issue. However lately I have been getting drops as low as 8Mbps and more consistent performance in the 30Mbps range per Speedtest.
What I have tried:
Restarting the modem
Restarting the router
Updating the router firmware to latest release
Factory resetting the router and rebuilding the network config from scratch
Here is what happens per Speedtest:
The PC gets the full 200+ Mbps when it's working as it should
The wired Xbox gets 150 Mbps
My phone gets around 100 Mbps, +/- 10 Mbps
I do not have any special QoS configs, just the standard port triggering for the Xbox's to play nice.
Any ideas?
