@AfriNatic help please bro. Pm over on Twitter. Router won't authenticate. Reverted to a previous router. What am I missing?
South Africa’s biggest forum. Discuss, discover, and connect with thousands of members.

Anyone in the West Rand/Florida area getting crap speed.
Rebooted alles. Speedtests are LAN cable based. Orbi has built in testing.
Not sure if all the upgrades causing issues but we’ve had issues in the past with Vuma downloads that ended up being switch issues on Vumatel’s side etc.
Uploads are maxing out so that’s fine. Downloads are terrible. I usually get 800-940MB on Downloads. Been noticing a degrade recently. It’s inconsistent though.

Hey BudMorning,
Apologies for the late reply. You still experiencing issues?
Hey Bud
it’s not consistent. So right now. I’m getting half my 1gb. It’s a pattern during the day. So not sure if it’s capacity related or an issue with Vuma
Yeah. Doesn’t make a difference. If I was direct. Or using the Orbi router directly to test.Same speeds directly to the ONT? How is the latency?
If it slows please send me the speedtests done and pic connected directly to the ONT for me to log it for you.
Yeah. Doesn’t make a difference. If I was direct. Or using the Orbi router directly to test.
The speed drops reflect regardless.
When it’s up to crap again. I’ll send you ONT based screenshots in a PM. Since I know how Vumatel can get before they even look at something

Hey @AfriNatic
I'm running some tests on a different router, after activating everything seems okay, except for some websites throwing this screen:

This is on MFN Pure Fibre.
A website throwing this is carbonite.co.za

Look likes a lot of people are having this issue, myself included, I did everything by the book including sending 3 screenshots of speedtests to support. I don't see what's so difficult when other ISPs are able to complete this task seamlessly.Upgrades still taking place?
Still stuck on 100/100 when I should be on 200![]()
Not really an issue, just curiosity, what would cause packet loss on the ONT?

@AfriNatic I've been experiencing a lot of random packet losses today and the past week which is affecting my gaming experiencing. Based in Century City, Frogfoot. I know frogfoot has had some issues this past week but is it not resolved yet?
