This was a big week in our house. I installed a new Verizon Fios router, with the help of a Verizon representative on the telephone. We were FiOS (as it was capitalized back then) customers since it was introduced to our neighborhood about 15 years ago. We have used Fios for broadband and landline, but not television – our TV is via antennas.
Our new Fios router and plan is supposed to increase our downloads to 300 Mbps. This would be helpful given that my wife is usually working from home, our son is visiting for the week and working his aerospace engineering job from our house, and I, in retirement, am producing Shortwave Radiogram and scouring the internet for news about international broadcasting for the @kaedotcom Twitter (for now) account. That adds up to a lot of data in and out.
The people in our house using wireless devices noticed faster connections from the new router. But I, upstairs, with an ethernet connection to bring the internet to my large tower PC, large display and full-sized keyboard (I refer to this system as The Mighty Wurlitzer), noticed that things are now slow. Very slow. Like dial-up slow. Images in websites loaded about as slowly as images do on Shortwave Radiogram. That slowly!
This made for a long night last night, as I usually audition over 100 images for the 10-12 or so that are transmitted each week on Shortwave Radiogram. URLs and links had to be clicked a few times for the desired action.
Over the weekend I will troubleshoot and configure the router, OS and browser settings. I’m already making some progress. Eventually I’ll figure this out.
