Hello musicmanbob
It could be the wireless interference of all the wifi devices you may need to adjust the wireless channel.

Good Sunday Morning Mr. Darren M,
Please forgive me for not responding before now. I had been working on some things that came up, needing to be taken care of. I have printed out the link info you provided and will read when I return from church. I hope this info will guide me regarding how to change channels between 2.4 and 5Mhz. Is it possible to use a second router with the AC1750 Modem Router? In other words, I was thinking about using the WiFi signal to drive the router on the second floor where my wife's office is located. I am thinking this would help speed up my wife's computer. Right now when I do a Speed Test using SpeedTest.net I am only getting a reading of ( Ping=48ms, Download=38.97 and Upload=4.41. Presently, I am paying for speeds of Download=100Mbps and Upload=4.00Mbps. The company offers 50Mbps speed which would cost me about $11 less. No sense spending the extra money if I can't get the maximum speed I'm paying for. I will be back in touch once I adjust the channel. Thanks again.
Bob
