RAX10 router-remove and put old RAX20 back on
First, I am NOT vaguely informed on this. Had an RAX20 that seemed to work fine. Speed dropped from 150s to 90s and television pixlated suddenly. Has happened before and was fixed on fiber optic p...

I just wanted to close this out and thank everyone. After a couple of attempts to get me to buy faster service, I closed out my comms with the tech people at Vexus. I told them everything I read said this should be more than enough. My Cat 6 cable to the wall box nets me the speed that they said they "could not understand how I'm getting" and my television his displayed no more problems. Today a speed test showed 151/159. I don't know if it is the cable, but since that is the only change....
I am most appreciative.

Well, for now I think I'm going to keep the newer router, it appears to be faster or capable or handling more...and according to Vexus, I need 400 Mbps service instead of 150. BUT I'm not buying that right now as everything I'm reading when I do a search on how much I need indicates I don't. I also ran the next level of cable (6?) wall box to router in case that makes a difference. The ISP says they "don't see how I was getting 140-150 Mbps but I was, their tech was the one who sped it up.
Again, thank you for the help but I'm sort of holding to see what happens next. I don't like the upsale bit when it was fixed without it before, makes me wonder if they are choking down my speed.
