I picked up a Netgear nighthawk ac2400 to see if I could get it working for a friend. I tried it out myself first using PPPoE and vlan 201 tagging and it connects without any problem but is extremely slow. Speed test.net drops drastically and then just hang or errors out with a socket error. Exact same behavior as described here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Connected-to-centurylink-fiber-ONT-extremly-slow-speeds-of-gt/td-p/1463354
ping is fine. No packet loss. Decent latency to just about anywhere. It almost smells like an mtu problem.
Has anyone else experienced something like this with Netgear routers and CenturyLink fiber?
I noticed both the 2400 and 6900v2 from that link are mediatek based. Coincidence?
