Turns out I get better and more consistent results using Ookla speedtest. I'll let this one go.

Using Speedof.me. When I'm testing the MoFi is only connected to a single W10 computer in either case. And actually when I test using my cell phone, the upload speeds are even higher. The MoFi only has 2.4GHz wifi. Actually I'm meauring the MoFi modem download/upload speeds, not the wifi speeds...

Have a MoFi Sim7 connected to TMob tower about 7 miles away. When I use it with WiFi to my W10 computer I get faster upload speeds than with wired cat5 Ethernet. Why is this? I'm not talking super speeds here, I only get 20-50Mbps down and 3-10 upload.

I do have a neighbor, although they're about 400 or more yds away. That's the only other signal I can see. They have their 2? routers set at B1 on 2.4GHz, at least I see 2 signals from them. My laptop doesn't have 5GHz, so I can't see that. But yes, I did test the phones all places we use the...

I found a android app that shows the signal strength of the signal/router I'm connect to and it tests the link speed. Called 'WiFi Speed Test'. So here's how I set up my 2 routers. The Asus N66, has both 2.4 and 5GHz. Unfortunately the Roku does not support 5GHz so I have to leave the 2.4GHz on...

You'll all be glad to know this works. I unplugged the router to plug it into another socket and it actually saved all the data. Thanks for the help.

My internet comes in from a MoFi device via TMobile. The mofi has lan connections, so I just cat5 my mofi to my RT-N66U input since it was already set up with my previous internet. I have the 2 lan outputs on the N66, one to my computer, and one to a cheap Linksys E2500 N600 router in bridge...

Actually we have a limit more like 200GB/mo. You have to realize we're very rural and there's no service out here, I'm lucky to get this. I'm linked to a TMob tower 7 miles away on a plan through a guy that buys business plans and sorts them out to subscribers. We used to have satellite...

It seemed to take a while for the traffic data to show up, but now it has. I reckon the test is to unplug the router and see what happens. This will be interesting. I hope it works, but there's really nothing lost. I just want to keep track of my data usage, mostly month by month. I used to have...

OK, did that, wiped out all my old data. Do I need to clean out my data now and then so it doesn't fill up? thanks.

Don't see how to remove that tag. I thought it was a 'how to' question, I see I was wrong it is a 'how to' answer. Things have changed since I was here last. I'm using Asuswrt-Merlin 380.70. As I remember I went to that version because I could do better traffic monitoring. I remember a long...

Every time the power goes off, the traffic manager looses all the past data. I tried saving it to a USB device, but it did nothing. How to I keep my past traffic data when the power goes off and the router re-boots?

Well, the parental control works a treat. Just like I want it to. But the Kindle is such a piece of crap, I haven't figured out what I can do with it. I was thinking about using it as a bluetooth feed, I still may. In the meantime I got a Roku to stream pre-recorded videos I get overnight on the...

That's what I was thinking about the lynksys. With my smartphones I really can't tell which router it's using. One is downstairs by my computer and the lynksys is upstairs completely on the other end of the house, about 90' away, but there's an ethernet cable connecting them. If I didn't use the...

So Parental Control will stop all internet usage? This kindle is set up to accept ads. The lynksys is set up wired directly to the Asus as a second wireless router, the Asus is 192.168.1.1 and the LS is 192.168.1.5. As I remember it was put in the bridge mode to work. Lynksys walked me through...
