Performance Issues - (IPv6) 8900AX-2400

[Craigeh]

Hey,

I've had my Billion 8900AX-2400 for a while, it's a great piece of kit! I've recently changed ISPs (from Plusnet to Andrews and Arnold), mainly because I was getting annoyed with them for various reasons.

The router is sync'ed at 79287kbps down (20000kbps up), but I have noticed some unusual behaviour when IPv6 is enabled - these results are from their speedtest (http://speedtest2.aa.net.uk/plain.html).

IPv6 disabled
Download: 73.06 Mbit/s
Upload: 20.14 Mbit/s
Latency: 18.64ms, 1.98ms jitter

IPv6 enabled
Download: 66.88 Mbit/s
Upload: 19.29 Mbit/s
Latency: 18.58ms, 1.86ms jitter

These results are consistent, a loss of around 5Mbit/s when IPv6 is enabled. This isn't a lot, but when your paid for decent kit and connection you expect it to perform

Any one have any ideas?

Craig

Not sure, never seen this issue before, have you tried to run a speed test with speedtest.net and see if the same issue occurs??

Also can try with a different device with a wired connection to see if the same issue occurs??

I also ran a quick test here, with IPv6 enabled I get 8.27mbps and without I get 8.32mbps, I don't see a major difference. (firmware 2.52.d27)

Hi,

I've managed to get to the bottom of this - it wasn't an issue with the router but an issue with TalkTalks backhaul which I have worked with AAISP to resolve

Thanks!
