I get a, I'm using Spectrum and then I run it into the Linksys router. And Spectrum's saying I have, uh like 500 megabits download and I don't believe it. And then when I run speed test here, uh, it says I'm at 189, which isn't bad. But I wonder which one of them is not producing the strength or which one of them is not telling me the truth. I think I ran into this before, and there's a speed test, or you can conduct a speed test of, of, of of just the router itself. Is that right? [silence] Can you run a speed test on this router? How do I go about that? Yeah. I got the two one four four yeah two one four four five five one nine one I am you got your director let me just second I'm looking at the body.
01:00
Speaker 2
Sorry, Rome. One more time? [silence] Yes, you can. How about you go to fast.com or speedtest.net? [silence] But do you also want to go to the settings of the router? I think it will only route you to fast.com. [silence] Let me check your router here. [silence] Based on your phone number, you have an account under right. [silence] Are you Joe Dormen? [silence] Got it. Model number of the router, MX 5,500. Right.
02:00
Speaker 1
but right now, I think that let's see, name is the, where did, I see the mag number, there's a browser key, let's see, where's model when we listed on the, let's see, oh, yeah, I got it, what did you say, M XS 6,500, oh, it's 55, that was very hard for me to read, it's small, okay, yes, yes, yes, sir.
03:00
Speaker 2
right it's okay I got the model number right here based you have a record so I can see the read on their model MX5 and X500 so your problem is that that speed right you want to check the speed if we if we're going to do the I mean if we're going we're going to check the true speed of your router

Speaker 1
I think I've looked a while ago and I'm running this off my laptop and I don't think I have a ethernet cable port for that. I'm pretty sure I don't. Yeah, I was going to do that. Just plug in the ethernet cable to my laptop and I went to look for it and couldn't find it. I don't think I'm going to look one more time. Yes. Hold on. Wait again.
04:00
Speaker 2
[silence]Okay, a router connection or modem, the internet source. We need a cable that can be hardwired directly to your computer or router. Is that possible?[silence]You don't have to network 2. Use a router, okay. Okay, it sure doesn't have one. Okay.
04:00
Speaker 1
I'm sorry I'm moving around, I didn't hear you. Yeah hold on. just hang on.On. Yes sir. That speaker breaks it out. I wanted to check once for sure to see that that I don't have an ethernet port on this little computer. It's a Lenovo and I don't think it does. No. Say it again, what.com? [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
You're breaking up. What do you say? Okay. All right. All right, that's fine. We'll figure something else. Go to your... Go back to your laptop and then go to Pass.com. That's a website. Pass.com, like F-A-S-T-
05:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I got you. Hold on, I'm walking around my desk. Okay, let me go to fast.com. and it says speed test under when I put that in there and it's got some selections. Should I just click on speed test? All right, let's see what it comes up there we go. All right, now it says internet speed test fast.com and there's speed test by oakla but I want I want the internet speed test by fast.com, don't I? I presume I do, cause I've got there you go.
06:00
Speaker 2
speed test yes
06:00
Speaker 1
I clicked it and it's huh? it says $2.90, that's what I'm supposed to know. I'm supposed to have up to $500 off of spectrum yeah okay yes. Yeah, I know you, it's not always consistent, I'm supposed to get 500 but that's probably due to when there's no traffic on it and all that
07:00
Speaker 2
[silence]. What they're saying is that you have 500 Mbps then it might be correct because you're getting 210 Mbps your computer wirelessly. expected to get uh, I mean the expected speed is half of the speed that you're paying or subscription speed. That's why I found out you're getting 290 that's the correct speed for Wi-Fi. It's not big, it go up up and down.
07:00
Speaker 1
heh heh Isn't that correct? Am I? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So if I were going straight from their modem into my computer, if I had an Ethernet port, it might get to 500, but since I'm going from their modem into your router, probably slows it down a little bit. I get you. Okay, good. I wanna know. Thank you very much. You've been very helpful. Okay, same to you.
08:00
Speaker 2
m correc correct yes that's correct when it's cable or hardware you will get that speed 500 correct since it's wi-fi it's fluctuating so not stable very much welcome and I hope you have a good day okay thank you so much
