Internet speed-Update
I have Spectrum for internet and when cable is hooked to the lap top I have a 70+ mbps. My router is a Linksys EA 8350. When my devices go through my router and cable run to the router from the modem I have for the last 3 days been getting 1.3 to 3.0 mbps. I have 4 wireless video security cameras with the DVR recorder wired to the router that eat up 4 mbps each. One, sometimes 2 cameras will loose their signal during the day and then come back on line at some point. I have 4 additional cameras and when swapping the online cameras with one of the others I get the same issue. I have, in the past, been getting 6-7 mbps. I also have a Netgear extender half way between my lap top and the cameras. Distance from router to the furthest 2 cameras is about 50 feet. I do expect to loose some speed because of walls and obstructions. When I check the signal from the extender through my Android I get "excellent" on strength.
I understand that speed is lower when the devices are synced to the router but with 70+ mbps I would think my speed would be faster.
The router has a built in internet speed check built in the system and it is consistent with Spectrum. My incoming signal from Spectrum enters through their modem and is wired to a separate modem then to the router.
I am hoping I made clear the issues and asking if anything else can be done to improve those issues. I have thought about moving the router to the attic but I would have to add another cable to it and then run a 30-40 foot cable from the router to my camera DVR which is hooked to the router and the monitor so I can see the recordings the DVR stores.
If I unplug the DVR from the router and power it down the speed increases to 9.1 mbps
UPDATE Thought I would update this post as a thank you for the help.
I used an old router to establish a hardwired access point for the cameras. I have good connection for my cameras. After resetting my DVR and camera system I used the access point to connect the cameras to the access point with a separate and different password. At this time the cameras are the only thing connected to t. Signal is 40+ mbps and cameras have given good video and have stayed on line 100% for a week.
I have not been able to log on to my access point via my lap top BUT my Android tablet and both Android phone do connect to my access point anywhere in the house.
