Re: Are my power levels ok?

Wouldn't it be nice if the required levels were included on the report page the superhub generates?

i.e. in brackets after the measured power levels?

Are you getting any problems? I ran with those levels with no problems except it appeared to be causing my Tivo problems. When the tech visited he fitted a FPA to the TiVo and I asked him to fit one to the Superhub as well.

That said it is high.

They're a bit on the high side, but fairly borderline. Are you experiencing any issues?

Re: Are my power levels ok?

Some more information would be useful e.g. what are connecting with and whether its wired or wireless, a speed test and a traceroute to bbc.co.uk. Also how long you have had the problem? and where you are in case your being affected by loads of students.

Unless you're experiencing problems leave well alone.
This part of the user's post might possibly yield a circumstantial clue as to whether he's experiencing problems?

"Nothing has changed until 3 weeks ago and things started running slow, takes longer to load pages."

or am I grabbing at flaws ?

Re: Are my power levels ok?

As we don't know what he is connecting with it could even be a software update on his connected device. Little plea could we know what you are connecting with? e.g. PC (desktop or laptop make and model )or Mac (same applies).
