I had signatures disabled so that explains why I couldn't see it. I see what you mean by the difference.

Yeah, those ramping started showing up when we had a power trip during a thunder storm and never was the same since.

What I have noticed is that I am no longer getting those long yellow spikes that happen around every couple of hours, I thought it was the SamKnows box but will find out after a days worth of new BQM.

I had them with a SK box. I gave up passing all my wired devices through SK and then on to the router, as it limited my LAN -> WiFi speeds. I ended up connecting SK to its own port on the router. I sent mine back last year.

Well my SK box is still connected as it said in the documentation, those two small yellow blips on the new graph was from two speed tests, but I will find out once I get a full days worth.

Most of the stuff here is all wired, only a few devices require Wi-Fi and that's just for the internet.

I had most stuff wired, but now I've simplified, and all the entertainment devices, around the TV, are on a guest WiFi. The IT devices are all wired, except for my corporate laptop that is so thin is needs a dongle to connect, which gets in the way of my mouse cable, so that is WiFi.

My WiFi 6 (AX) router is in the same room, so its not been an issue (so far!).

Well just did a Speed Test and while it was doing the test I checked the resources on the MikroTik Tik RB4011iGS+RM (Router) and it was only at 25% Load, so very happy with this router.

The only downside was I had to do a load of reading wiki pages for this router due to it comes with no manual due to its online.

Most of it just works out of the box apart from the IPv6 not being enabled by default, so that got enabled.

Which was when I discovered that there were no IPv6 Firewall rules in place which resulted in even more reading.

So all seems to be working fine now, still some tweaking is needed with some of the settings, but other than that the price for the router was well worth it.

Glad you’ve finally got everything sorted

Thanks, at one point I did think it would never happen with all the issues and setbacks etc.
But we only did the upgrade for the faster upload, plus for the same price as our old package we get 3x the down and 2x the up, so a no brainer there.

Coming from 80/20 these speeds are so amazing. Never tried the 330/50 package was too expensive at the time.
