Bahhhh I didn't get any email but there are a couple things I noticed with people saying they did and didn't see any difference after rebooting. I really don't think the older 2.0 docsis modem/routers will work. The other thing, if you are just on wifi, I think the max connection speed, even with a 3.0, it's limited to 20mb for some reason. There is a way to turn off that limiter in the admin menu, but it is on by default. So if you are just using wifi, try using an ethernet cable and see if that shows anything better with speedtest.net or whatever. I can't say if there was a change or not but one machine around here I noticed over the weekend (on hardwire) seemed to be bouncing around 25-27mb where in the past 24mb was about the highest I've seen in the past. Probably had more to do with the way the wind was blowing that day. I'm on some service they don't even list anymore (like HSI) and was supposed to be 12mb but the installer said it'll be closer to the 20-24mb range and he was close. -bruce bje@ripco.com
