Correct. Just don't use a backup configuration during install.

I installed the firmware you suggested but it doesn't seem to have helped.
Thoughts?

are you testing hardwired or wireless?
Have you tried a different device?

Hardware only on my pc for now. I have a Wifi tester on my phone but wouldn't that just tell me the speed to my wifi router and not the speed going out to the internet?
I can try another device but the pc works at 100+ on the same wire connected to the Spectrum modem.

I have the Speedcheck app on my iPhone that connects to my Wifi and it says that I am getting 114 Mbps but is that a correct measurement?

Something isn't right.
your phone is pulling 114mbps wireless but a wired pc is only gettign 30?
Do you have a different hardwired device to try?
- m130carbineNov 24, 2020Tutor
Oddly, I went to anothe place for a testing of the speed and it is showing 114 on the PC now.
Thanks for all the help
- m130carbineNov 24, 2020TutorWell I thought it was fixed but I went to three others and they all say 40 Mbps. I’ll see what I can find out. Looking like a new router
