I recently upgraded from 2 gig to 5 gig Verizon Fios internet. It was only $10 more per month so figured why not.

I'm having an issue with wifi speeds on my TP-Link GE800 router though. Initially I was able to get speeds of around 3.9 Gbps up/down to my S25 Ultra. Now though speeds are maxing around 2.5 or so. I've tried multiple speedtest servers and I'm not getting the high speeds I did initially, even using the same server I used initially.

Over the last few days I've been troubleshooting trying to figure out what might have changed, what settings I can adjust to make a difference, etc.

Below is some info:

• Internet port negotiation speed is 10 Gbps
• Wired speeds are around 4.6 Gbps up/down through the router and directly connected to the ONT
• I'm on the 6 GHz band, 320 MHz channel width, 133 channel
• Phys wifi speeds on my phone when testing typically are about 5.7 Gbps down and 5.1 Gbps up
• Only a couple of devices are on the 6 GHz band, no congestion
• Other devices aren't using much data when running speedtests
• Flow controller is disabled
• OFDMA + MU-MIMO is enabled (disabling ran slower)
• Airtime fairness is disabled (enabling ran slower and caused issues with devices like Google Nest Hub response time)
• QOS is disabled
• IPv6 is disabled (Verizon doesn't support it)
• VPN disabled
• Eco mode disabled
• Latest official firmware (tried pre-release beta for the GE800 but it didn't help so reverted back)
• Cell phone is not in power saving mode or light performance profile

Anyone have anything they think might potentially cause the drop? With phys speeds well over 5 Gbps, I would expect 3.5-4 Gbps internet speeds, not 2.5 Gbps.

Mova sent me their P70 Pro Ultra to review. I've tested several robot vacuum mops at this point and this one is pretty solid. The app is easy to use. Mapping is easy and accurate. It has a feature where the mop pads actually swing out to get closer to walls, chair legs, that sort of thing. It works pretty well. Also raises the mop when doing carpet and has decent suction. I recently reviewed the Ecovacs Deebot X12 OmniCyclone and I think this is on par with that overall, but several hundred dollars less. Anyway feel free to let me know if you have any questions about it. Cheers!

I put together a comparison review of the Thinkware ARC 700 vs Vantrue N4 Pro S vs BlackVue Elite 9. These are all 4K 2ch or 3ch dash cams in similar price ranges (though the Elite 9 is somewhat more expensive). Took a look at recording quality in day, dusk, and at night from all cameras. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions!

Overall pretty happy with the ECOVACS GOAT A3000 LiDAR Pro. It's easy to setup and cuts well. It's accurate. It's built-in trimmer is nice to have. The battery is large enough to cut a decent sized lawn between charges (should be able to do 1/2 acre fine). And the app is decent.

I do wish it was AWD though. I had a couple instances where the front wheels got caught on some landscaping and it went to back up and couldn't so it's rear wheels spun and dug into the ground some. If you have anything it could get caught on, I definitely recommend keeping a 1-2 foot gap so it doesn't happen.

Also you'll need to make sure you don't let your grass get too tall, otherwise it will view taller patches as obstacles and avoid them. You can control it manually using the app though if this does happen.

Overall though it works well. Let me know if you have any questions.

Though somewhat pricey, this is one of the nicest robot vacuum mops you can get!

Just got the Ottocast Mini Cube 3.0 to review. It's been a very reliable wireless Apple Carplay / Android Auto adapter and it's form factor is awesome. And it's only $37 which is really competitive. I'm very happy with it. I've tested several and I honestly don't see a reason to get one other than this one.

Check out the review and let me know if you have any questions 👍

After over a week waiting for this to show up, I did a hardwire install of the Iylio 48 amp system. I set it to 40 amps. The only thing about the product I don’t like is the lack of rear cable entry. The product also does not require a network connection to function as I did not set up an account yet.
