Thank you for the detailed info, good to know. I've setup a TP LINK internet via outlet.... and it is working superbly, it seem most of the issues I was having were due to wireless signal strength here - I can now get about 45Mbits/s via outlet but the signal is much more reliable / does not drop ...

Would a network extender introduce noise over the whole network or only to people connecting to it? Still haven't gotten the ethernet over outlet thing going.

Getting faster speed from extender even though I am closer to router?!

I've been messing with my wireless a lot lately. Hell I compiled an actual document I'm updating with tests I am running.
ISP is TWC, through Arris Modem/router (DG1670A)
My roommate's range extender is repeating the 2g/5g wireless signal using a Netgear Nighthawk Wi-Fi Range Extender.

Running a ...

I realized the first hop took extra time because it was through the VPN.

Here's a traceroute out without VPN:

(progress update)
netstat will not give pids on osx.
I used "sudo lsof -i -P"
I found out a weird connection from Adobe / Maya which was running in background (smoke) and I had to work to get rid of it / uninstall it.
Google establishes 26 different sockets (same PID) .... I have a few browser ...

Hi Philip - netstat seems to show a LOT of active connections, I'm not sure how to clean this up - I do use Mulvad (VPN) but effects on network with it on or off have not been significant enough in speed tests. It seems if I try to post it here the spacing gets messed up (ex: ' ' shows up as 1 space ...

Broadband crawling - 1-3mb for a 50mb line (logs included)

Hi,
I am sharing a 50 mb/s TWC line and can't seem to get anywhere: I'm getting significant packet losses in games (freezes / disconects)
I'm trying to figure out where it might be coming from, if it is either from one of the 5-7 computers we have (a couple of those are heavy on streaming) or if it ...
