re: Network speed test

Yep back to back to back. I was hard wired into the modem with a older Mac. The modem was plugged into nothing else. Now I did not turn off wifi on the modem so there could have been things on it still I guess like my AC units thermostat, phone , other laptop...but no one doing anything on them I was the only one awake.

I am going to order that 16x surfboard today and see what that does. The real holdup on all of this is my security cameras. I didn't set up the system so I'm not familire with it...I know there are network setting on them and also for me to view them off the network. That's all router stuff so I'm hoping I can just turn off the modem in the cox box but leave it doing the routing for now. I'm waiting to hear back from the camera installers to see if I can swap my 24port switch to the new style that has the plugs on the back so it's a cleaner look in the rack. I also told them I want to ditch the cox box and migrate to the luxul router. In the mean time I'll get that new modem coming.

There is something up with the wifi now for sure. Since I got home yesterday max has been 7-8. That's not normal. I don't think I changed anything but testing channels on the router. I'll keep fooling with it. Thanks for the help so far.
