Low download, high upload

Hi,

As mentioned in title, upload is fast but download is a crawl. I've reset the router, done some local tests and can't identify anything. It was fine last night.

@GuyInShades 

When you say that you've reset the hub do you mean a full factory reset? It sounds like your hub has lost its Plusnet credentials. Try this:

  1. Try a factory reset of the hub by pushing a paperclip or similar in to the reset hole and hold the switch closed for about 30 seconds.
  2. Leave it 10 minutes or so and see if that fixes it,

If that doesn’t work:

  1. Log in to the hub by putting 192.168.1.254 in the address field of your web browser.
  2. On the broadband page (I think, you may need to look through the pages to find it, depending on which hub you have) you should find the username. If it’s setup@plusdsl.net then it hasn’t configured itself.
  3. Remove the DSL cable.
  4. Change the username to your account username in the form <username>@plusdsl.net.
  5. Enter your account password.
  6. Plug the DSL cable back in.
  7. If it doesn’t try to connect select Connect (again you may need to look through he pages to find it).

If that doesn’t work.

  1. Contact Plusnet

Re: Low download, high upload

@GuyInShades  Have you checked that you have the correct username set in the router, if it is setup@plusdsl.net it can cause this low speed.

Edit  @Baldrick1  got there first. 🙄
