Hello All,

I've been having this problem for a few months and it is really bugging me. I'm having to reboot my SH2AC that I got as an upgrade from SH1, every day.

It's in modem mode and I use my ASUS RT-AC56U which worked perfectly fine when used with the SH1.

For some reason, after each reboot my connection slows to 50Mb within 12 - 24hrs and sometimes drops below that to <10Mb, I don't think it has anything to do with my ASUS because a reboot of the SH2AC without touching the asus brings the speed back to the full 160/12.

I did have a 6dB wideband attenuator attached to correct power levels, I removed this but my issue still persists, is no better/worse, even with power levels now around 6 - 7dBmV.

Could there be something wrong with my SH2AC?

Last time I got onto VM about it, I got the usual run around, there's no network issues in the area, everything is healthy with the exception of some high utilisation at peak times that does not breach their threshold to raise it.

I know my SNR is a lot lower than it used to be on the downstream, 34 - 35dB when earlier this year it used to be 43 - 44dB - doubt that's the issue but it's odd to me that it dropped so low after being high for years.

Any ideas before I rage and smash the superhub with a big mallet?
