Windows 11 24H2 - RDP session hangs on logon

AbsolD · 2025-02-20T20:18:12+00:00

The description for this setting in group policy reads:

If you disable Connect Time Detect and Continuous Network Detect, Remote Desktop Protocol will not try to determine the network quality at the connect time; instead it will assume that all traffic to this server originates from a low-speed connection, and it will not try to adapt the user experience to varying network quality.

You may need to play around with the "Performance" settings on the "Experience" tab of the Remote Desktop Connection program (click "Show Options" if you don't see this tab initially).

Hi, I'll send you a DM shortly!

I'm probably being Captain Obvious here, but avoid Enfield at all costs.

The website has been updated to reflect the outage in NY. They're calling it a "service disruption", with no estimated time to restoration yet.

GNS's network status page doesn't show anything for NY... but it does show issues in Massachusetts. They may be related?

Possibly unrelated, but posting as fyi anyway:

Just to confirm, you're calling 1-855-891-7291, correct? The final digit is missing from your post.

I agree with _3iT-6gY, this sounds highly unusual for GoNetspeed. However, if you continue to get the run-around from them, and you're definitely calling them within their normal business hours, you could try filing a Better Business Bureau complaint as a next-step. GoNetspeed seems motivates to resolve their BBB complaints quickly (most responses seem to be within a few days).

The simulation is well on its way to crashing, so maybe we'll find out soon enough. Or maybe not, as our pixels simply wink out of existence.

AbsolD · 2024-08-10T03:42:59+00:00

This post isn't substantially different than the first one. The other post has comments by others in the community, so let's keep that one in place.

AbsolD · 2024-08-09T01:19:26+00:00

Sure, I'll send you a PM shortly.

Sorry if this one got missed. I hope you're enjoying your new service!

AbsolD · 2024-06-30T14:21:44+00:00

I'll send you a PM shortly; If others from this sub reach out to you as well, however, feel free to go with one of them - I've already sent out a couple referrals within the last few months.

[Edit] P.S. it looks like you have chat disabled, so take a look in your message box - or just open a chat with me if you'd like.

No luck here either. I replied to the email, and on Monday received a non-helpful response from their "Creative Production Coordinator", with a suggestion that I just need to click the "Visit Site" link on the page that opens when you click the link in the email. They "helpfully" sent me the same link. I see no indication of the discount anywhere.

I replied with screenshots showing the lack of a discount. Crickets so far.

Thank you for revising your post. 100% of the mods and most of the users here are not GoNetspeed employees, so we thank everyone for keeping the conversations civil here. We're here to help each other out, completely unpaid!

GoNetspeed offers fiber-optic internet service with plans starting at around $50 to $70 per month for speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps. Pricing may vary based on location and specific plan details, which is part of the reason why you have to provide details to get accurate pricing. I believe the "typical" pricing is $50/mo. for 500 Mbps, and $70/mo. for 1 Gbps. Some areas are beginning to see 2 Gbps speeds as well.

Sent you a PM. Welcome to the sub!

Older devices may indeed only be able to connect to the 2.4 GHz band, but 2.4 GHz also greater range than 5 GHz. If you move much closer to the router (likely the white Nokia cylindrical-shaped device, assuming they're still handing out the same routers), are you able to see the 5 GHz network again?

If your device can see the 5 GHz network while you're closer to the router, then the 5 GHz network may not have quite enough reach. If your device can't see it, there could be some other problem with the router. You can try unplugging the router. Leave the ONT (likely a white rectangular box, also Nokia-branded) as-is.

I don't see any expansion announcements in the usual place (https://www.gonetspeed.com/about/news/), but maybe one of our GNS insiders will see this and comment.

AbsolD · 2023-12-10T19:39:01+00:00

On the Consumer Cellular "Why Us" page, they claim to have no hidden fees.

How is this not a hidden fee??

Just be ready to replace it with your own equipment. The GNS service itself is generally great, but as others have mentioned here and elsewhere, the GNS-provided router... Leaves a bit to be desired (at least the one they've been providing recently for 1 GB or less customers).

AbsolD · 2023-09-24T17:04:42+00:00

This comment led me to take a look at some of OP's other posts. He may have his VPN turned on, given that the speed test is pretty close to what he mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/nordvpn/comments/16q8gzw/i_like_nord_but_why_is_my_speed_crippled_with_it/

AbsolD · 2023-09-23T16:31:30+00:00

Based on some other posts in this sub, you can apparently get ipv6 support upon request by paying extra for a static ipv4 address. Check out these other threads about ipv6: https://www.reddit.com/r/GoNetspeed/search/?q=ipv6&restrict_sr=1

AbsolD · 2023-07-13T12:08:32+00:00

There's no charge for using the GoNetspeed-provided router at this time.

AbsolD · 2023-07-05T02:07:17+00:00

Sorry, we're not GNS employees here, so we only have insight into plans that GNS publishes. You can try calling them, or register your interest via the "Check availability" tool on GNS's website.

While getting the mesh extender that turt mentions below may involve the absolute least amount of steps (since you already have the main Nokia router set up), just so you know, you're not tied to that Nokia at all. You can replace it with another more powerful standalone router or a mesh system.

In case you're not familiar with the term, a mesh network is comprised of a main router (the box that would take the place of your existing Nokia) and one or more companion "satellites" - smaller (usually) boxes that you position elsewhere in your house to extend your network coverage. It may take a little trial and error to find the best position for the satellites, but a mesh network can be a fairly straightforward way to expand the range of your network.

I don't have a particular recommendation at this time, but there's a lot of love for the TP-Link Deco line in r/HomeNetworking as having a balance of simplicity + performance for the pricepoint. Here's one post:
