Dropbox knocks out router

[Anonymous User]

Every time I upload a large file to Dropbox, every device on our network loses connection to Now TV broadband (wireless & wired). Sometimes the only solution is to reboot the router.

I have Fab Fibre and I've tried restricting Dropbox to 500kbps but it still happens.

My partner needs a reliable connection to WFH with live servers and video calls, so I have to disconnect Dropbox during working hours, which means my work isn't backed up.

Unfortunately none of the Sky or NOW TV “hubs” provide any support to do that sort of QoS thing 😟 so you’re stuck with the option of limiting Dropbox via the settings in its app. Either that or replace the hub with own supplied equipment that provide more sophisticated support (if you are comfortable with that and have the skills to do so).

Same issue with OneDrive, however not with GDrive.
