Re: Should I switch to Charter from AT&T?

I just got Charter installed. Are there any tweaks I need to make to get max speed? My modem is currently connected to my ASUS N66R router.

The only "tweak" I can think of to suggest is to ensure you're using WPA2-AES (rather than TKIP) if you can. I got much better throughput on my WiFi connection with AES. There is information around why that is so I'm not going to bother rehashing it.

Ya, make all connections wired gigabit.

Ok, I guess there are no real tweaks. Thanks for the help.

The better question is what speeds are you seeing on your new install? If you're seeing 30mbps or close on that plan then there's nothing to tweak....

I am getting between 30 and 35.

That's exactly where you should be on the 30mbps tier. Charter only offers 30 & 100mbit residential tiers at this time.

What's kinda weird is when I did my first speed tests I was shown to be in my home town. But the next day after I rebooted a couple of times (trying to figure out how to login to the modem), the speed tests have me halfway across the state as my location.
