We just installed a new DLink DIR-810L AC750 router which is working great... until I put load on it.
On my Win 8.1 laptop, when I put a good load on it such as copying files to a backup on the network or running my VOIP phone via my laptop's wired port, the network slows to an absolute crawl (I thought it was the VOIP at first but it does this even with it disconnected)
The Windows network indicator doesn't show a problem and says Internet Available but apps time out all over the place.
To fix it I have to disconnect from the router and then reconnect and it works fine.
But it is 100% guaranteed that if I put any kind of load on the connection it shuts down to an absolute crawl!
Other computers on the network seem to be having trouble streaming Youtube and stuff like that; tends to stutter a lot more than our old router (they aren't always on when this is happening to me so it isn't because of them)
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Edit: I just want to add that I tried to upload a video to Youtube -- big volume right? About two minutes in to the upload the internet on my computer dropped and my VOIP phone (which I now have connected hardwired to the network and not through my computer) also dropped off the network.
I disconnected and reconnected from my laptop and the internet came back up, on the VOIP phone too. So it recovers easily but reliably (if that is the word) fails when there's a sizeable load.
