So.  My internet's been acting up lately (Comcast sucks) and I did a speedtest which showed about 3Mbps down, 10Mbps up (I usually only get 4-6 up, too).  Annoying when I usually get about 25-35 down/4-6 up.

 

However, a few minutes ago I restarted the router and got THIS result.  Wow lol.

Now if it would stay like this that would be amazing, but über fast speeds don't matter when the connection isn't reliable.  Here's hoping that things clear up.

What kind of router do you have. Was it given to you from comcast?

Yeah, from Comcast.  It's not that great, either.  The wireless signal is horrid.  I put an extender right next to it and only get about 8Mbps out of that at full strength.  It was sub 1Mbps before the extender, it doesn't have good range to my outside room but even gets low speeds when a wireless device is near.  Doesn't matter though, I've wired my PC and that's the only place I do heavy downloading, I got the extender for my smartphone mainly.

Yeah... when I set up my internet with Comcast I told them I would provide my own router. Honestly their routers are cheap and horrid.

I currently use the router below flashed with Tomato open source firmware.

It's been fairly stable for the most part for the nearly two years I've had it, occasional Comcast shenanigans aside.  I'm thinking it's just an issue in my area as of late.  It's been unstable like this for about a week.

Having it work better after restarting would indicate a router issue for me.

I am somewhat biased though and hate just about everything Comcrap.

I want that connection.
