Yes, I downloaded it before I swapped out the router.
The User Guide made me think, but it didn't help me as much as
my common sense.Â* Somehow as a result of disabling "Homegroup"
which I didn't think I needed at the time, the local area
connection got disabled, and that kept me from "seeing or
using" the router.
I eventually noticed that the local area connection was
disabled, immediately enabled it, and all was better. Still
need to learn more about Homegroup (and why I need it). I'll
consult the manual! : )

Rly??? Ugh. No GbE ?

You're relying on the wireless for performance then.

The WAN connection from the Surfboard is probably OK,
as 100BT is 60Mbit/sec. But now you don't have a lot
of room for upgrades.

CPU1: MediaTek MT7628AÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* = a 580MHz MIPS 24KEc CPU
FLA1: 8 MiB (Brand? Model?)
RAM1: 64 MiB (Nanya NT5TU32M16EG-AC)

The same SOC is in the Netgear AC1200 (R6120), so you can
use WAN to LAN routing charts for that one to
estimate performance on the AC1000.

OK, I had to switch to Asus RT-AC1200 which uses the
same chipset.

Â*Â* "Asus RT-AC1200 will only put out 25mbps.

Â*Â*Â* I pay for 890mbps

That tells us your new router is a dud.

To prove me wrong,

Â*Â* Surfboard ---- NetgearAC1000 --- computer (browse to
SpeedTest.net, flash based tester)

That benchmark will give you a test of WAN to LAN,
and see if the new router is holding you back.

Speedtest.net is failing for me right now, and I
hope the server in your area works better.

My router has "just enough" WAN to LAN for me to
bench my connection. I found a quote of how much,
before I bought it.

Thanks for helping Paul.
Speedtest reported about 71 Mbps download and 6 Mbps upload.
I ran it 3 or 4 times (using different locations) and got almost
exactly the same results. I tried to determine what Comcast's
"Performance Internet" expected upload speed is supposed to be
(but was unsuccessful so far). The advertised download speed is
60 Mbps. I may not have a lot of room for upgrades, but I only
paid $59.99 too--and it seems I am utilizing all of my current
pipeline...no? FWIW, I use only the wired connection, my wife
uses the wireless (she is not particular). Thanks for teaching me
a bit! I'll look up the specs on the Cisco e-1000 and see
whether I upgraded or downgraded...
