Charter visit on Internet speed
Model : Archer C3200
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version : latest
ISP : Charter
I have a new Archer C-3150, I bought it because I couldn't get any speed out of my old Wireless router . After installing, I didn't ge much better speed so I called Charter and scheduled a Tech. The night before he came I plugged my Linux desktop directly into the Charter Cable modem , by passing my new router and got a OOKLA speed test of 14.05mbps, (I pay for 60mbps), With the router connected I got 5.86mbps on Wireless.
The next morning he arrived and checked a few things, then rebooted the cable modem and had me check again, It got 66mbps with the Linux box directly connected, and also got 66mbps going through the router wirelessly. I was very happy but puzzled. I checked a few more times, and we got 62 to 66 mbps everytime.
Anyway, two hours later after he left, I sat down to do a few things on my PC, it seemed sluggish on the Internet, so I went back to the speed test. 2hours later after he left, it read 13.30 on my PS through the wired connect to the router, and 15.80 wirelessly.
Where did the speed go when he left?
While he was here, I could get 66mbps , wired and wirelessly through both OOKLA and Charter's speed test, 2 hours after the Tech left, I'm back down to around 15mbpson both of them on OOKLA, and still getting fairly good 55mbps wired if I use the Charter speed test.
What's going on? I'm impressed that my new router is giving me near the same speeds as my wired connection, but puzzled why that speed it so low?
