I'm limited to 300mbps, and most of my connected devices struggle with that rate. Only a handful of services can reach my connection, and even fewer are available.

I still believe the problem is driver-related. If the new driver doesn’t fix it, it might point to a modem or signal issue. You can check the modem’s diagnostic pages to see if they provide access, though not all providers do. This helps confirm your signal meets the required standards. Deviations from specs or even slight variations can lead to problems. Temperature changes affect signal strength by about 3dB throughout the day. If it’s near the limit, higher temperatures may push it out of range. You might want to contact your provider for assistance. I recall a time when signal problems caused random drops in our cable service—Comcast eventually replaced the physical drop unit that connected customers to the network.

Based on where you are, Midco might perform poorly. They often push the network too far in certain areas, making 1Gbps rare there. Still, it could point to a Windows or driver problem.

I'm not sure how to assess signal strength. Networking isn't something I understand well. Occasionally my Wi-Fi drops, but I'm still unclear about what's happening. Midco is decent, but compared to SRT it's a gig for $84 or around $300 down or $120.

Well, you're probably in the Minot area, huh? It really comes down to the service and how much you use. For instance, a 300mbps connection with 10ms latency is way better than 1gbps with a 100ms delay. Based on data, most customers with gig connections only reach over 50mbps for short bursts. Also, is it a shared network? Cable from Midco works, while SRT depends on the service type—like they offer fiber, ADSL, VDSL and G.Fast. As for just the cost, it's obvious. I’m an operations engineer for SRT but have tried SRT and Midco, helping many friends who use Midco. To be honest, Midco is inconsistent, and SRT varies by location and available service.

It's quite amusing to hear from someone nearby, right? I'm currently staying at the base and they offered me the gig for free when it was introduced. It worked well for a while, but then I had to switch dorms, and since then it's been causing issues. Problems with the Wi-Fi or download speeds. Right now I just downloaded MGS5 at 60 MB on Steam, while the league is uploading updates at 1.5 MB.

Have you attempted linking your PC straight to the modem without the router? Perhaps the router lacks sufficient power. Also verify that the speed test server supports Gigabit connectivity.

Connecting the Ethernet cable directly to the modem and router would optimize performance. The more obstacles it encounters, the slower it becomes. Also, Wi-Fi seldom achieves maximum speeds.

It's a device that combines a modem and router into one unit.
