Hi all! ... our cable connection recently got an upgrade, to 80 mb/s whereas before it was closer to 40. Oddly, if you connect ethernet directly from the (DOCSIS 3) Zoom modem to a laptop, you get speeds ranging from 55-85 mb/s. If I connect the Zoom via Ethernet to the Linky, and hardwire the Linky to my laptop, the speeds now drop from 80 to 40(!). And if I connect via wifi from the laptop to the Linky, speeds now run around 23 mb/s. The Linky is running dd-wrt.
I don't need this to run perfectly but a 50% drop in speeds even when the connection from the Zoom to the Linky and the Linky to the laptop is ethernet -- well, obviously something's not optimal about this! We don't need too much more in the way of speed, but 30-40 mb/s would be far better than 23, which is not quite enough. Would love some thoughts and recommendations for troubleshooting this -- thank you!
