ISP : VirginMedia

[***SOLVED***]

Hello,

Just upgraded to fastest broadband with VirginMedia, needed to upgrade from Vigor 2820 as WAN speed was only 100Mb

I do not use the super Hub.

Went for the Archer C8, easy install,updated Firmware to latest , Dual Wifi - working great.

Blistering quick download speeds

However, when I used my cisco vpn software to connect to work (wired), it lasted 20 - 30 mins
then the whole network wired & wifi slowed to a crawl, the VPN disconnected in the middle of a call
Needless to say this has not happened with the Vigor 2820

fast speeds returned after a reboot of the Archer C8 router, unfortunatley another 20 - 30 mins later
the same thing occured forcing me to switch back to my Vigor setup.

Options I have tried so far:
NAT Boost = ON & OFF
VPN passthrough = ON for IPSec, PPTP & L2TP
LOG = ALL (no isses seen in the Log either)
Statistics = ON (high bytes are counted on the laptop used for the VPN)

While I test out more options between the working day and home life
does any one have any suggestions on what else I could try to nail this down?

Kind Regards
