Getting better speeds but no where near 200. Max around 50.

Re: Power Levels

You really need to do a wired test using speedtest.net, you might be wasting your time looking for a fault with virgin

Okay so wired I am getting 160ish. WiFi around 60.

I was getting 200 via WiFi few days ago which is odd. I have a USB-AC56 Dual Band Wireless AC1300 Asus adapter as well so should be getting way over 100.

And now we are back to this for upstream:

Power Level (dBmV) 51.25 N/A N/A 55.00

Re: Power Levels

If that's the upstream with the attenuator off then that's one of the problems.

Re: Power Levels

So the engineer came and changed the splitter and the cable. Power levels are now:

Downstream varies between 5 and 6
Upstream is 42-44.

I also changed the frequency settings as the guy on the phone two nights ago changed them to awful settings. I set 2.4GHz to 300Mbps and 5GHz to 1.3Gbps and I seem to be back to getting over 150Mbps on WiFi.

Speed test at 00:34 on WiFi.
