Jio fiber router getting slow over time? Restart fixes it.

[FrustratedUser]

Anyone tried this ?

Yes the dns method worked for me (didn't need to try others two). Change dns setting of ipv6 from dns proxy to isp dns.

@Dorababu selecting DNS from ISP is asking to key in the domain name. I tried it on Network > LAN > LAN IPv4 Configuration Tab

Enter "router.lan"

@FrustratedUser Really? did you change only for LAN>ipv6? Or some other settings had to be changed?

 

[FrustratedUser]

Sorry i meant ipv4 my autocorrect changes it to ipv6. Change ipv4 settings only.

 

[Gaurav15]

I changed both IPv4 and IPv6 to “use below” and provided cloudflare DNS addresses. Lets see it it works. Also, i noticed that it doesn’t remember IPv6 settings, it was back to DNS proxy when I checked today, without any router reboots. This jio router is a piece of shit.

@Gaurav15 even if you try changing wan ipv4 dns to cloudflare it will say operation successful but it will still use default jios dns i dont know why they are so salty with cloudflare they literally try to block everything from cloudflare

DNS change doesn't solve the issue.
Restart daily and try to keep the router cool.

I have placed a metal 'dakkan' on router to dissipate heat. Seems to help.

@Notorious even the cheapest routers that i’ve seen in my life don’t require reboots and such temperatur management. By the way, this problem happens during winters too when temperatures drop below 10°C. Restart is the only fix so far. The problem is clearly with the firmware or the basic architecture of this router. I have decided to go for router replacement, i’ve heard they don provide these models anymore.

@Gaurav15 What model have you been provided with?

I have this JCOW4032, and yes Whatsapp messages, Brave, Play Store and every thing slows down on 5GHz!
