This is on a Zoom 5341j. My signal strengths seem to be gradually increasing over time. In the past, the signal was this strong when it was in the 20's or 30's outside, but it has been in the 80's. I don't have TV service so this is my modem running directly to the main line to the box. There might be 60-70 of feet of cable between the modem and the box near the road.
I played a couple of online games recently, games hosted in different places, and I've noticed that I'm laggy. My ping is significantly higher than in the past. Connectivity is good and download speed is fine, but my online gaming experience seems hindered. Others peoples' ping times will look good but mine will be 3-4 times the other players.
I guess it's time to request a tech to come out. In the mean time, I guess I could put a splitter in the line and run off of the -7dB end and see if that changes anything.
