Internet pull?

On the day I installed PA, my internet mbps suddenly dropped from 54mbps to less than 1mbps. :x Is there any relation between the two? Nothing has worked to raise my internet, so I am considering every option.

Short answer. No.

Check with your provider on that one.

Are you sure you didn't hit some kind of monthly limit? Some ISPs throttle you if you exceed a certain amount of transfer in a single billing cycle.

Unless ATT has revoked the unlimited data plan I have, I wouldn't see why they would do this.

I am curious on that one though. You say '54'. This is an odd number for a plan. Are you referring to 54 on your wireless connection in your home? 802.11g ?

Color me slightly confused.

Good idea. Baby monitors and cordless phones can do all kinds of bad things to wifi connections.

Might be something as easy as a router reset to fix.

That too.

54 is usually what my wireless connection is. Nothing changed in my house, I didn't get any new cordless phones, or anything new like that in general.

Try a router reset then. See what that does for you.

I hate wireless. I'd rather run an ugly cable across the floor.

At it's highest, the most our client can possible eat is 512kBps, or roughly 4 megabits. Mind you, that's at the absolute worst, and I think we already reduced that cap to 256 or possibly even 128, though I'm less certain about the specific number.

Short answer, coincidence I think. Or gremlins.

I might be getting someone over to look at my router. I say might, because ATT has the worst customer service -other than the IRS- on the planet.

Actually AT&T Uverse routers combine their HDTV decoder and wireless G controller onto a single chip and don't provide it with adequate cooling. The upshot is that when you watch HDTV the chip overheats a bit and your wifi throughput goes to crap.

Yay for cost saving engineering designs.

Glad I don't have u-verse then. Then again i'm not much of a TV watcher.

Did you already try a router reset drewsuser? Power cycle that thing.
