I'm curious about your monitoring. What specifically is horrendous?
How do you "monitor speeds"...speed tests or your modem page?
In addition to your signal levels, what are the results of your tests?
Are you using a wire or wireless connection to test?
If wire, specific type of wire or adapter?
If wireless, specific type of wireless card?
Speedtest.net. Fast.com, etc. My speeds range between 7-350Mb down, and 30-50MB up. It varies throughout the day. Yes I'm testing directly wired to the modem. The router is a LInksys EA9500 with current firmware, and basic configurations. I have made all the appropriate settings on the router, and have ruled it out based on the experience of the technicians plugging in new modems, and getting the same results on their LAN speed tester.
