We broke down and bought a new router to try and solve our internet woes. At first it didn't seem to do anything, but then Sam plugged the new router into our old on and then reconnected the computers to the old router. Somehow, and this makes absolutely no sense, it is a lot faster now. Perhaps the old G router feels inadequate next to his new N brother and is beefing up the signal to compensate.Maybe they are in love and that love is projecting wonderful lovely router signals all over the house. Maybe in another hour it will suck again. Who knows?
Hypothesis:
A new, beefed up N router will undoubtedly improve performance over the old G system
Evidence:
Here's a table outlining the internet speed since Sam hooked it up. As a point of reference, 7000 is the level at which the signal is sent, but usually 1000kbps is lost along the way, making 6000 the best signal:
5:50 pm - 3307
5:50 pm (again) - 2446
5:51 pm- 3600
5:54 pm- 6646 (see bottom left of picture, indicating the last test results)
5:55 pm- 4518 (it dropped even more after I took that picture)
6:04 pm- 3779
6:11 pm- 2295
Then, at 9:31 pm:
Conclusion:
WTF?
