Not being familiar with the GBOX GUI other than a few images after searching, I should have pre warned you of the possible effects, and what steps to take thereafter changing the channel may have had. Though adjustable setting in the GUI should be apparent, though using the small inset reset button which should be located on the back panel, where the ports and power are located, as a last resort. Have you gotten it back online yet?

You might try changing the channel, or frequency the wireless router itself broadcasts. Remembering the energy which emanates from the antenna is shaped as a torus, or a doughnut. Much like this image, where the antenna itself is in the center: As the antenna is moved, so goes the 'reach'. Keeping this in mind, you can 'project' the side of the 'doughnut' or torus towards the area which requires the highest signal strength. I would not imagine the wireless chip is old enough to have issues as you are mentioning. As it is b/g/n capable. Check settings for Tx/Rx or Transmit / Receive per antenna, some can be changed for one to transmit and one to receive, in this case, setting both and antenna to do both might be best, or not, experiment. What my previous post suggests, is to separate LAN or (Local Area Connection) networks, and dedicate one IP of a secondary subnet (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1 = two different subnets) to the wireless network and the LAN, Which could help with traffic flow, as well as eliminate any possible QOS (Quality Of Service) and eliminate a proxy if the GBOX is using it's own routing, and causing a double NAT (Network Address Translation). Which causes a bottleneck, or a slowdown due to hardware / software limitations. If at any time you wish to discuss any of this further I would be happy to take it one step at a time with you.

What I would do first, is have a look within the Nexxt Nebula 300 Router and see if I could segregate the wireless and the wired subnets. Then either way, yes or no, I would assign a static IP to the GBOX, and open specific ports regarding what you want to do, or to keep it simple, use UPnp, that the static Ip (or static reservation) will be configured to automatically open and close required ports.

I'm working to understand the logic of comparing distance using wireless and wired. If I've even got an understanding at this point of what you are doing. Secondly, there could be double even triple natting going on here. The box could be acting as a proxy to get through the router. Which will torch throughput.

If I'm reading you correctly, your saying while Wired connection is active on the 'GBOX', the system achieves maxing out the network connection, yet when wireless is active, not so much, correct? As for the wireless chip, I'm not seeing your assumption. Is there a wireless strength meter available on the Matricom G-Box Q2? Have you rooted the device? (do not attempt it if you are not familiar with Linux command line) or if you have a warranty, it will be void.

English on this forum only please

My feeble understanding of the way movies stream through such devices, is the data is transmitted in (possibly highly compressed) 'chunks', intermittently from various sources, much like a torrent. Therefore allowing more users to draw the same content seamlessly. Where the endpoint device "GBOX" puts the pieces back together before presenting the video. As I said, I won't claim to have much knowledge of the way this is achieved, but a basic understanding. I'm not so sure it's actually hardware which dictates the throughput, but more so the network configurations + software control features between the two source / endpoint.

What exactly are you wanting to do.

If the NAS is sharing data, streaming data over the public WAN, then this of course can eat into the available bandwidth. However looking at your results database, it appears to be limited to 10 Mbps, so the above would not come into play on the WAN, that is [Not] enough to inhibit the download channels. Now if you are streaming on the LAN, at a constant high rate, this could be choking the router /switch, in it's worst case, LAN only. A VOIP system in use with two live lines in it's most extreme , might use up to 1.4Mbps mostly on the upload channel for voice quality. Ping an throughput are two completely different protocols. Where a Ping would send a structured packet such as ringing the doorbell and waiting for a response. Outputting the difference in latency. The it's connection is closed, in milliseconds. Where streaming, downloading or uploading on the WAN, or to the internet, will in it's most simple configuration, keep a connection open. So your answer is no. There are other variables that could be in play here, from the information you've given, no. When was the last time Virgin sent a tech to your address to check everything out?

I had the understanding selecting a manual test size passed the =nfw or, no forward flag, I tried this and it forwards to the calculated next test size up. @CA3LE where am I going wrong here?

Hey @fey42 , here is something you could consider. https://testmy.net/mercury Though not exactly what you are requesting, nor would this likely be very easy for you to find an image, located on a server in the Cascades, but don't let that discourage you. If you take the time, I'm certain you would find websites somewhat locally to accomplish this. There are many VPS (Virtual Private Server) providers in Oregon, for just dollars a month, as in ~$2-4.00, you could upload a file and then download this file locally at intervals. As well as have various servers scattered around the state. This would require basic knowledge of a linux command line. There are also 'KVM' VPS's which some of which would allow windows installations, where you could RDP or remote desktop to them. Another option might be, to coordinate with local friends, and setup file sharing between your computers, using an FTP client such as filezilla, connecting to the other users machines, you can gauge throughput by sending and receiving a file.

@Mr_B Have you had any success with your new wireless speakers yet?

Interesting. Myself, considering testmy.net does most everything you are suggesting, I'm not sure adding more clutter to my local system, or Nagios box is something I would entertain, when I can log into testmy.net and analyze, search the database for either automated, multi threaded, or manual testing results otherwise. There are means incorporated within testmy.net, which prevent abuse, however this is not made public as far as I understand it. I'm not posting to discourage you in any way, in fact personally I encourage good useful scripting.

The type of connection you have, will lease and expire connections based on end device connectivity, or usage. In other words, the IP address assigned to your device, is dynamic, meaning it is not specific to you. But will be used repeatedly on everyone connecting to the beam. In order to better track your results here at testmy.net, make sure you are logged in when testing. As you have yet to test, while being logged in. At that point, you have the ability to control what stays and what goes, within your database. As well as only your test results being shown, when you index through your results.

Something curious I see, the connection is Verizon fiber, yet you are using a 54Mbps wireless node? What device are you testing with this very old hardware? Don't get me wrong, I have a couple in service myself for guest/ community APs. It's rather surprising to see a fiber connected user, utilizing such a device. Is it possible to get the topology of your network? A couple of scenarios, caching, either a local device controlling your internal network or a node in the vicinity/ complex, which is QOS squid ect... controlled; or the wireless device you are testing with is actually connecting to a different network.

@RayArdia, if you are familiar with the ping and tracrt command in a windows command line, run both to testmy.net (assuming your running windows) Start/ orb, or whatever version of windows you might be running > type in 'cmd' without the ticks, then: tracrt testmy.net And to ping: ping testmy.net Please copy and paste the output of each here.

I can agree completely, while adding the opinion, if they as in Adobe, would have been open source/ non proprietary, contributors would have certainly embraced the fleeting resource. However since not so much, reality took over long ago, for instance HTML5

This is a subjective injection of truly obscene abuse of reality in my opinion, is using part of what made your past great, in the attempt to perpetuate your existence in the sector by mixing some obscure cocktail in hopes if inoculating your own demise. To put this another way, much like getting all sweaty with the team, pounding away at the keyboard working to get that 'fix' for a system wide exploit, there after rolling in dry sand to claim it can be done painlessly, all the while rubbing ointment on the nether regions and itchy sand fleas wondering why you have rash ass. This move inspires thoughts of a deranged scientist in a fully funded (via other projects) in some concrete/ steel fluorescent lit lab 27 stories underground in an old WW2 base (much like the long haired dude from the movie Independence Day; "they don't let us out of here very often, as you can imagine") trying to reanimate the dead, just because he has the resources to attempt it. Pure mental masturbation. Have we not proven alternative means which would otherwise show themselves as a much 'better', or appropriate I should say means for video, advertising, and malware. Let it go Adobe, just let it rest in pieces. Is there not another venue to exploit and name proprietary? Appearances are everything? Then this attempt of re-animation give the appearance more of an attempt to perpetuate the botnet industry than actually assisting with the forward momentum of media access for the masses.

[...] The NPAPI version of Adobe Flash Player is the version that runs natively on the system. It installs on your operating systems and all the applications can access it. It means all the browsers running on your system will display Flash content on the web using the NPAPI. Adobe, in 2012 had discontinued the NPAPI version of Flash player for Linux and promised only security updates till 2017. But recently, Adobe announced that it will completely support NPAPI for Linux. More on that later. [...] The PPAPI version of Adobe Flash Player is the product of a collaboration between Google’s Chrome and Adobe. NPAPI is native, had a great performance, but the whole concept of NPAPI had become irrelevant and there was a need for something different. Something advanced. Google was looking to re-define some basic parameters regarding how the Web worked. Web apps or web based applications that could work on computers, without the bias of platform were the ultimate ambition of Google in this division. (I must say It’s doing pretty good.) [...] Source

Nice, how is that upload?

If this were my situation I would continually be in contact with the support staff at the ISP, many time more than not, persistence pays off.

After a bit of searching , it appears that WowWay could be in the 'wow_access' database. More data mining would have to be done to be sure, or @CA3LE would certainly be able to say.

May I suggest you eliminate the router for testing, and connect directly to the modem, then test New York. Testmy.net is explain there is an issue beyond what the ookla server running within the ISP network is showing.

Whatever you are trying to accomplish will need more information before anyone can assist you, try TOR

Who's in the know about a decent terminal emulator for Android. I don't want bloated garbage, ads or nagware, I'd rather toss the coder a chunk of change and have a solid stable app.
