OK--So I'm Lost--Totally Lost...Yes I know it is a Wireless Router/Modem....
BUT--I have two PCs attached via Wire, a Gigabit USB 4 port Network Server attached via Wire. Router is 1 ft away from them all.
Only things that uses Wireless are both my printers, Samsung s3 phone and Samsung Tab.
Everything worked Brilliantly for Years on the 30mb with no problems. I get up to 52mb after midnight for a few hours. But I need it before midnight 7 days a week..I don't mind the darn thing dropping to 30mb if I'm only surfing the internet. But if I was ONLY surfing the internet I would not need 300 or 60 would I...If I switch from 2.4ghz to the 5ghz I get the top blue button flashing and a Blue button on bottom flashing...So is there a secret to this or is VM telling us Lies and they can't keep up with demand...If that is the case I will ask to go back to 30mb.. So, how do you do Wired test ? how do you do it with wireless switched off in modem.?? THANKS..
