when the internet does get to a unusable state I do connect directly to my computer. speeds are the same with or without my router. back in January I had really bad pings and speeds. I replaced my modem since my old modem was a SB6190 "the one with the known bad Puma6 Chip". I have a SB8200 Quality of net has improved speed does drop during the Congested times between 5pm to 11pm. During my monitoring I just noticed the same channels and frequencies have the same correctable/uncorrectable issues and the repeating issues in the status logs.
