I am still getting speed drops but i have learned more. I don’t understand something. I don’t have to reboot the router to get my speed back. I did a speed check on my iphone and was getting 200+. A few hours later i checked it again and was getting 3o mps or less. All i did to get my speed back was turn off wifi on my phone and turning it back on again. Does that help explain anything.
