I have tried using an automatic IP and a static IP. I have changed the last two numbers of my static IP. I have tried using different DNS servers but the one I was using is still fastest.
So, since I use Comcast/Xfinity cable for internet, I used their speed test and my ping was 14ms, my download speed was 1.26 Mpbs, my upload speed was 2.03 Mbps.
HOWEVER I have tried many times to update Amplitude and the most speed I can get is a little over 100 Kbps. That is not acceptable and I do not understand. I have recycled my modem and router.
My modem is a Motorola SB5120, router is a Netgear WNR 2000. I have static IPs on all devices (phones, laptops, and one iPad) so that I avoid conflicts.
While I am trying to DL this update everything else is off. This forum loads instantly, my startpage loads instantly, most everything I do is pretty close to no wait time. Now and then I will have to drop a YT video down below 720p but usually it is not a problem.
Is anyone else having trouble with downloads from IK Multimedia? I have never had this problem with them and FWIW I try the link on the DL page that says to use it if you are having trouble downloading.
I think I am going to buy a newer modem and router but since everything else is faster... I am wondering if the problem is on my end. Things have been slower lately on my wife's laptop and I've noticed that my signal indicator is one bar short on my laptop, but I usually have full speed on my iPhone. Still, I don't think this problem is here... but I am not sure. It sure is a LOT of difference between the DL speed from IK and the DL speed on the "Speed Check".
Wifey just said that the desktop, which is wired to the router says that all her websites have security problems, these are normally safe, no problem sites... so she is going anyway. Maybe I'll try rebooting the desktop, turning off the wireless on the laptops, and recycle the modem and router then turn everything back on... I don't know what to do so I am guessing... I need help!
Thanks,
