Gen5 Upgrade..
I have decided to upgrade to Gen5. I have some questions that I want to be addressed before the install. I currently have an HN9000 model which uses 2 cables from the dish to modem. I had my in...
With Gen5, it's best to use the 25MB file for downloads and the 4MB file for uploads. The 25MB file has forwarding disabled, so it won't resize to anything larger.
I see a couple of nice speeds, including one that was in the high 50s. Very nice.
Maybe someone will have some ideas for you on how to get the speeds up when using Wi-Fi. Maybe you could try the different bands (2.4Mhz and 5Mhz) to see if one gives a better result than the other.
Being that you came from a legacy plan you are probably gettiing the daily data resets. Lucky bugger! But, just to be safe, I wouldn't go hog wild today. Wait until tomorrow, when you know for sure it's resetting, then go hog wild. :)
I couldnt remember what was recommened to run tests on I thought I seen someone say 12 so thats what I was using for most and as you could tell the one jumped up to 73.4 MB. I think the 50 was directly connected to the modem. I have tested 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz connections with my WD Router. The last test I ran was with my laptop using the 5G connection on the WD Router (20.59 Mbps)
It is not a daily reset.. ( GabeU I guess you were on the 20 day reset) I have noticed my usage was reset 3 or 4 times already in 7 hours. Yea I am going to wait and make sure it keeps resetting at least tomorrow as well. Then I will do more if it does. I might even let the kids have full access for a while ... or is that too much LMAO..
