spudler_t Posted July 8, 2019 CID Share Posted July 8, 2019 Seem sfor some reason daily I find I need to restart my Modem/Gateway as speed goes into toilet. Like todays test I think I am 1/2 Download speed and 1/10 upload of normal lately. I get a ton of uncorectable Codewords listed to I have no Idea Why or what that is and I trust the answers I would get from xfinity as much as I trust the government. Also anyone noticed slower speeds when say an Iphone or Ipad is connected I should sayhigher ping rather then speed. Even though the 5 Ghz AC connection has 1 connected device ( this One) seems ping goes way up with those devices connected even if idle. Probably has to do with the Gateway to xfinity connection rather the the Wifi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted that OFF since the thought of some guest sitting on the back porch listening to music on their phone might interfere with a critical download or a lengthy render from a subscribed App --- well, you get the idea, right? So you may or may not be experiencing your router doing you a favor - with some load balancing feature or hidden fairness algorithm like mine had before I slung it out into the yard.? Oh, and btw, you should absolutely not need to reboot that device everyday. --john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
