Hub 3.0 Misbehaving in Modem Mode

Hello!

I've got a 3rd party router, so put my Hub 3 into modem mode back in like Feb. HOWEVER since 27/09/24 it's been maxing out the 'upload' between it and my 3rd party router. I'm talking a full gigabit. I'm not paying for a gigabit up, nor was anything on the network transferring that much.

Switched it back to router mode... Absolutely fine... Back to modem mode and within 24hrs, back to being a freak.

Any idea? Do I just need to ask for a  new box?

Thank you!!!!

    likely something bad on your network or your router itself .

    Put hub in modem mode with just a PC and see how it goes

      Hello!

      I changed the SSID on my asus router to disconnect all devices and then reconnected one by one, still does it. I've reset the hub and it's still doing it.

      What's strange is that it takes about 6 hours of being in modem mode before it goes strange. I'm wondering if asking for a new IP address would fix?

        A new MAC address will give you a new IP address I believe.  I doubt if this is the issue though.

        However, if you remove all the devices from your ASUS, you are saying it still does the same thing?  That would point to the ASUS going south?   As noted by legacy1   take the ASUS out of the equation and connect your PC to the Hub in modem mode as a test.

    I said to check by a PC to the hub in modem modešŸ˜”

    Firmware update your router even the same firmware if you can or look at getting a new better firewall router

    IP change can be done by changing the MAC on the router to what your PC is

    We have seen this kind of thing before when a 3rd party router or a LAN device makes endless requests to a  misconfigured update server or points to an NTP server that is not responding / no longer available.

    The rate of the data is so high it reads like an internal to the home problem and not data that is arriving via the WAN & Public IP where the upstream data rate is limited to about 100Mb/s.
