    Good Morning Liz,

    Let's start your day right. After extensive testing I think I have found the problem. I had an older  switch attached that was sending out a lot of interference. I replaced it with a managed Netgear switch and there was a definite speed increase. Enclosed is a link to the test results. https://testmy.net/db/t3RpIsHw8  

     

    I would say to close this ticket as the problem seems to be resolved. I thank you for your time and patience, I worked a help desk in Pittsburgh and I understand how rough a job you have. Thank you so much!!!

The Archer C7 is my router. I had it connected through a switch. The router is old so it could be defective. I connected my laptop directly to the modem and still got very slow speeds, 2.38 down and .39 up. i then tested with the desktop system, with nothing else connected, and got a .10 down and a .38 up. I will pick up a new router this weekend but won't connect till we can get the problem resolved. I still can't access the WIFI on the modem. Can you retest the modem when you get time and let me know what's going on? Thanks

The reps are on M-F from approximately 9AM to 6PM EST, so it won't be until at least Monday before you hear anything from Liz again.  I mention this just in case you started wondering why you weren't hearing back from her sooner.
