The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

[Ken]

Ok so a few hours into this new modem and my speed is fucking awful. Like its noticeably bad. Takes longer for everything. At least on wireless. Don't really mess with wired cause I only use my phone and tablet. Any suggestions? Is this new box simply to throttle my speed? I notice comcast sells packages by speed and I'm not sure which one we have. Could the old box have not had the throttling capability or something and thats why we had to upgrade?

Throttling is not done at that point in the process.

I would check what channel your using, it could be on a channel that is very congested. Download an app like WiFi Analyzer and it will show you what channel you're on and how much noise there is from other broadcasts. It may make sense to move from a 1,6,11 channel and move to say, a channel 4.

If you have no idea just screenshot it and put it up on here. I think someone has done that before.
