![]() ![]() So I connected to my work VPN (Fortigate appliance which I connect to using openfortivpn) which is a few miles away. Did an Eero automatic update do this? After switching back to 1.1.1.1, I think the DNS lag improved, but I am still seeing some requests take ~5 seconds to resolve, so I'd say that wasn't the primary problem.Īfter work today, I started playing around a little more and was suspecting that maybe the ISP is doing something weird. I had previously set it to 1.1.1.1 but when I went into the Eero app this had been changed back to "ISP Default" which was 8.8.8.8. I started by changing my DNS provider, which I have done before a few times. ![]() I suspect it's the Eeros, but I can't be sure, and the ISP has been terrific, but I wonder if they have some equipment that's running hot or something. So I started digging in and trying to find the source. Yesterday and today I arrived at my breaking point when I was working doing local development and refreshing 127.0.0.1:8000 was even going really slow. I suspect that very soon I will take the time to just replace the Eeros with my old Ubiquiti stuff, but that's going to take me a little time and I've avoided it out of convenience. I often see DNS taking 5 seconds to resolve, and if it does that for 20 different requests, it can really make things slow, and it's for domains that should be very common. It seems to usually be domains that aren't too common and I figured okay hey, maybe they aren't cached or something, but it can make some websites really slow to load when a site makes a bunch of requests to other services. So for awhile now, I have been noticing really slow DNS resolution at various times. The neighborhood is somewhere between 1000-2000 residential units, so it's not tiny but also not massive, and many residents still choose Comcast, so the total amount of users is a good amount but not obscene. It's a husband and wife and they basically set it all up as the neighborhood was being built because a fiber trunk was being laid down outside their yard, so they could tap in "cheaply" at the time and they took advantage of that. ![]() The ISP is a mom and pop providing 1 gig down for $50/mo. I have previously always used Ubiquiti stuff, but when we were setting up with the new ISP, the Eero equipment was recommended to me by them. We moved into a newly built house that had two Eero Pro 6's and some other gadgets bundled as part of the house. (tl:dr Does anyone else have experience with Eero having really slow DNS resolution?) ![]()
