I shut down my machines and battery backups overnight tonight just in case we lost power in the middle of the night. As far as I can tell, we didn't lose power. So, I turned things back in in the recommended order: cable modem first, router second, computer third. And since the cable modem is not in the living room, and my computer is upstairs from there, I had more than the requested time between turning each on. This morning's speeds are similar to yesterday's: 9 ms 119.63 Mbps 6.07 Mbps While I couldn't think of anything big to download, I did try a 36.7 MB mp3 transcription file, before shutting down last night, and again after starting back up this morning using Filezilla. Its reports are similar to each other: Last night: Response: 150-Accepted data connection Response: 150 35792.5 kbytes to download Response: 226-File successfully transferred Response: 226 7.532 seconds (measured here), 4.64 Mbytes per second Status: File transfer successful, transferred 36.7 MB in 7 seconds This morning: Response: 150-Accepted data connection Response: 150 35792.5 kbytes to download Response: 226-File successfully transferred Response: 226 7.376 seconds (measured here), 4.74 Mbytes per second Status: File transfer successful, transferred 36.7 MB in 8 seconds On 01/08/2017 06:17 AM, Bill Barry wrote: > On Jan 8, 2017 1:06 AM, "Dick Steffens" > >> Maybe your router had already rebooted since the upgrades for other >> reasons >> and your tests are just showing the upgraded speeds? > > It's a Buffalo WZR-600DHP running stock firmware.

I would expect it to reboot itself if the power goes off, but I wouldn't expect it to reboot on its own otherwise. Another thought is that the cable modem is one of Comcast's tall boxes, which includes a router. So now I have a router before my Buffalo. Perhaps it rebooted itself somewhere along the line. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
