My ISP is Spectrum in Los Angeles. Previously, my CBR40 worked fine, however I noticed that the speed for downloading is now at 90Mbps when connected to Ethernet and 475Mps when connected to Wi-Fi. I tried a re-boot, a new cable and also plugging into a different port and still. have the same speed afterward. I wouldn't mind so much, but I have a switch connected and don't want to see the devices plugged in there to suffer the speed slow-down. Is there anything I can try?

Are you connecting through the switch with what device you're testing on? Have you tried testing a different device connected directly to the router?

Thanks for the great suggestion, I tried once again with the following devices: Original test - M1 Mac mini / 90/24 connected directly via 2 foot cable to CBR40. (475 via Wi-Fi)2017 15" Macbook - I had to use a USB-C dongle with an ethernet port 60/24 (165 via Wi-Fi)iPad Pro - using the same dongle 95/24 (475 via Wi-Fi)LG TV connected to a switch (25' ethernet cable run from the switch to the router) 52/22, (50 via Wi-Fi, same room as router)

Have you tried swapping around the ports on the cbr40? What speeds do the satellites get?

I don't have any satellites, but I did try testing from different ports, the speed was very much the same via different devices. It's interesting that it caps out around the 90 range.
