Hi my internet speed is much slower than my older Apple Airport Extreme? Running Google DNS.
The results are the same on Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet

You can see it goes from over 200Mbps and drops on 22/12/17 where I installed the new router.

What FW version do you have loaded currently?

What region are you located?

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP Modem?

Is QoS enabed on the DIR router?

[louij2]

FW: 1.20
London UK
Virgin Media Super Hub 3.0 Modem
QoS is disabled

It was fast (200Mbps) after I changed the channels but then I went out for dinner and its become slow again (2Mbps)

[louij2]

It is also not auto assigning IP addresses to some devices?

[FurryNutz]

Is your Virgin ISP modem in router mode or bridged? If in router mode, your in a double NAT condition. Try to bridge the modem or if you can't, use the DMZ on the modem/router for the IP address that it gives the DIR router.

Disable all wireless on the ISP modem/router as well.

It is a router in "Modem mode", so it is not giving off any wireless network. I'd have to connect to the modem with ethernet to change anything. I'm using DHCP so it should just work?

[louij2]

I've also gotten a new Public IP after changing the router to the DIR one

[louij2]

My new router also decided to turn off the 5Ghz network for some off reason at around 1am

[louij2]

Okay so sometimes its fast and sometimes its slow?

[FurryNutz]

• Any 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz cordless house phones or WiFi APs near by that maybe causing interferences?
• Any other WiFi routers in the area that maybe causing interferences? Link> Use a WiFi Scanner to find out. How many? And what channels are they using?

I did two scans over a couple days for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, the issue is its not only on Wi-Fi but also when I am connect straigtht with ethernet?

[FurryNutz]

Is IPv6 set for Local Only on the DIR router?

[louij2]

Hi it was on auto, set it to local and still getting slow internet.
I even plugged in my old Apple Airport Extreme into one of the available gigabit ports and made a different network and I am getting much faster speeds on the Apple router, when the routers are sat right next to each other now.

[FurryNutz]

Lets try this, download same or prior version of FW to your PC.
Review this and send the FW .bin file to the router using the Recovery Mode:
Emergency Recovery Mode

Set up the router from scratch. Set IPv6 to Local only and try setting QoS to your ISP speeds UP and Down.

Okay so it is defo just the Wi-Fi that is having issues, ethernet is fine, I will have a go at what you told me to do now.
