When i connect to my jellyfin server to stream/download video/audio the speeds are tied to my internet speed. If my internet speed drops so does the transfer rate from my server. However it seems tied to my internet download speed (which varies from 0.5 to 80 mb/s), not the upload speed(which is usually 2 mb/s), and if i disconect my router from the internet I’m able to react the maximum allowed by my hardware. Is this normal? Or maybe something is wrong, or needs special configuration?
If relevant, I connect to a tp link router, which connects to the router from my isp.
How are you accessing Jellyfin? By its internal IP, or your public IP?
That’s weird but maybe the way you have set it up (especially if you use your public IP), it may go through the ISP’s rate limiter on the router/modem before looping back to you.
You definitely should be getting full local speed if you’re using the private IP unless your ISP’s router is configured horribly wrong.
From my internal IP (192.168.1.xx), I don’t access it from the outside (can’t open ports on residential connection in my country :c )
All my devices are connected to my own router, then that router connects to my isp router, which then connects to the internet, so its very weird.
The only thing I configured was reserving an ip address for my server on my router, but I don’t think that should influence…
Is that IP address the address of your router that was given by the ISP router or is it the IP of the jellyfin server?
My isp gives me something a public ip like 200.191.57.xxx, but that ip changes and I can’t open any port. Then my isp’s router’s local network is 192.168.0.xxx, my TP link router connects there (to 192.168.0.3 i think). Then my TP link manages ips 192.168.1.xxx. My jelly server is at 192.168.1.10, my devices are at 192.168.1.5, 8, etc.
Everything is local, nothing goes outside
Makes sense just thought you might have had a hairpin setup through your router.
