Just purchased this gem from a recommendation from a friend. I liked the idea of being able to easily troubleshoot it from the touchscreen, however, one small problem has arisen.
It is slow. When I did the speed test with the laptop connected directly to the modem, I got the following via the Gigabit connection;
Download speed: 107685 kbps (13460.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 12232 kbps (1529 KB/sec transfer rate)
When hooked up the Almond, my first indication of a possible issue was the Orange link light on the Motorola Surfboard 6141, indicating that it only had a 10/100 connection;
Download Speed: 18319 kbps (2289.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 12102 kbps (1512.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
When I did first try it out, it was at nearly 32mbps down, 12mbps up but it has been progressively getting slower.
First question: What is the port speed? Since it isn't coming up as Gigabit connection, I can only assume it is a 10/100 port.
Second question: Are these the performance issues some people have had?
Third: If it is a gigabit connection, why can I not get it to come up as such?
Thanks!
