Re: [Equipment] Sagemcom 1704

Hey guys, I have noticed something strange with the Sagemcom router, I notice that when I do a speedtest on my laptop I am consistently getting about 12.5 megs down, but on other devices like my tablet and ipods I get about 8-10 down, and on my wii and ps3 game consoles I am only getting about 2.5 down, all of these devices are working on wireless. Why is there such a huge difference between devices like that? Is it because the router is a G only router? Would it benefit me to get a N router or even one of those new AC routers? Just to clarify I am not bridging the sagemcom.

The modem should not be very warm. but regarding the fluctuations in speeds, that could be related to the distance from the modem or how many other devices were running at the same time while you were performing a speed test on one. I would turn off the power on all devices except the one you are testing see if that changes your results.
Regarding the wireless drop, it could have been simply a hiccup. Or it could be a sign of an impending power failure. Keep us posted. Also fee free to send me a PM if you have any further questions.
