POOR locations get superior internet speed checks, while GOOD locations back there get puny, ineffective internet speeds Hello? What? WHY? In progress, are blind tweaks in progress 1. tomorrow replacing Cat6e router cables with Cat7 + long enough (15') to relocate main router away from these walls a bit (now mounted close to ceiling, near exterior glass ... of little help) We are connected to Suddenlink cable (200Gbps) and have a new drop, new smart TVs 2. moved Liv sat. so can have a chance to communicate through windows to help reach MBR sat. 3. all moves made to MBR sat. have failed to improve on current location & internet speeds, even when assisted with Android software bird dog = Wifi Analyzer free software, even ot other adjacent rooms, so consider this a dead horse worth no more flogging
