I previously posted about poor speeds on a 1gbps line (Vuma Aerial, North Riding). A router reboot fixed it.

I've been checking periodically since then and it seems that something happens after some time, and my speeds get reduced to ~200mbps. A reboot will again revert the line to full speed.

I have not been checking religiously enough to notice whether this is time-based or event-based. Am I the only one experiencing this?

Most likely a router/hardware issue- if a reboot works, it's generally a sign of something hardware related. No dynamic/time based queuing on our side. Are you only rebooting your router? Or ONT and router? Let's try isolate it to a single piece of hardware and see from there.

Thanks, I'd appreciate the help diagnosing. It's a Mikrotik RB3011UiAS. I am only rebooting the router. What I can do next time is leave the router and power cycle the ONT.
Edit: I think I've figured it out. It appears a container is doing something... It's kinda weird as it is hass.io, and I've not yet transitioned from the instance on my Pi to the container. Nonetheless, removing it has solved the problem.

You might be onto something there as a guy is blaming the MyBB speed test server when he only gets 200mbs

Morning- thanks for the update. Just out of interest, have you given RouterOS containers a try for home assistant? The 3011 should be punch enough to run some basic apps.

Yup, that's what I mean. I have been running containers on routeros for a while, specifically adguard, which previously I ran on a pi on hassio. I wanted to decommission the pi, so installed Hassio on routeros, but as I couldn't (immediately) get a mqqt broker working on routeros, the containers have been sitting idle for a bit.

What must have been happening is on a power cycle, the router would dial pppoe and then spin up the containers, first adguard and then hassio, and my first Speedtest must have been before hassio started.

I don't understand why this should be the case, but as the rb3011 is also only arm32, i have also been frustrated with lack of support for some containers e.g. cloudflared.

I have been fighting the urge to get a rb5009, which is arm64.... Don't suppose you could hook me up? :-)
 
@websquadza any gremlins in the system? Been having really slow DNS lookups (google, cloudflare, yours), and loads of unresolvable hosts (github, pip, docker, etc)
