Hey, your router uses an RF cable for internet connection. You're seeing consistent speeds on Ookla tests regardless of time or day, but your continuous upload test shows a sudden drop in 12 Mbps. It seems the router might be giving a quick boost for loading pages and then throttling afterward. The same issue appears when streaming. Your mods think it's because the router is designed to speed things up initially before slowing down. When you tried downloading a game, speeds stayed at 5 Mbps while upload and download remained high—confusing. I'm reaching out for advice since you've got two ISPs and one that's much slower but more reliable. You're considering getting an RF router if needed.

Sure, I can help clarify. RF cables are typically used for transmitting radio frequency signals and are often found in networking equipment like routers and switches. If you'd like, I can describe what they look like and explain their purpose without showing an image.

Are you referring to Coax or a wireless internet connection?

-> Moved to Networking If there's throttling it would be done at the ISP's end, not at yours so nothing you could do.

It seems the issue might lie with the provider, but I’m unsure how to resolve it. The device is having problems switching on and off unexpectedly.

Determine feasibility by checking with other local ISP customers. When using cable, the provided modem was the only option available.

I've been trying to discuss this with their networking group, but they say it's not feasible. Upgrading to a better system would be too expensive for what I can afford. Do you have any suggestions for alternatives? Maybe something like a signal dish, similar to what Linus demonstrated, or anything else you know about. Since I plan to stay at home for over a decade, I want to remain comfortable.

It seems Coax is linked to Docsis internet. The setup might change based on your service provider. You could switch to another box or use bridge mode for a standalone router. Do you have a specific model number to check?

Your setup uses cable internet with a coaxial cable connected to the modem/gateway. Check with your ISP whether third-party modems are permitted and what approved alternatives they suggest. This is unrelated to the previous video about a PTP wireless bridge.

They seem to be referring to the Starlink video content.
