August 1, 2025Aug 1 Hi, had cable now have fiber internet. 1000 mbps down 500 mbps up. In my router I had my Unraid IP manually assigned so there were no issues with access after the ISP change. Everything is so slow now though, plugin checks, docker containers are sluggish and unresponsive. Any ideas on where to start with an issue like this?
August 2, 2025Aug 2 Community Expert You can post the diagnostics to see if there's something visible there, is the internet fast on a different PC?
August 2, 2025Aug 2 Author Internet is not slow anywhere else.Diagnostics are attached. I appreciate the help! castlestorm-diagnostics-20250802-0741.zip
August 2, 2025Aug 2 Are you using the same router as before? Have you tried replacing the Unraid ethernet cable?

August 2, 2025Aug 2 Give the server static addresses for DNS servers (Settings - Network Settings). Try 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220Most ISP's DNS servers suck (not the word I'd generally use, but decorum dictates its use)

It don’t look like it made any difference.

August 4, 2025Aug 4 Author So in my router settings I changed the WAN DNS server from ISP to Cloudflare. This seems to have fixed the sluggishness of my server. Don't know if this is the fix, but hopefully....I am not real sure what will happen when I try to use pi-hole for the LAN DNS. Thanks everyone for the help.
