Now with my wired connection, the d/l / u/l speeds are
5838 / 784 (Kbps)
Interesting how much better the d/l speed is wired compared to wireless, but the u/l is very close.

Lol, I don't get the obsession on this board to not create new threads and instead bring 2 year old threads back from the dead.:black:
