Got a few questions and been curious about some things.
I use the DPC 3939 (home). I had some time this morning and been testing on and off for about 6 hours. From all the testing the DPC 3939 ping drops by a large margin if placed in user bridge mode. Screen shots to follow. I have tested it not in user bridge mode with all wireless bands enabled, no 2.4 with 5.0 band working, and no wireless, as well user enabled bridge mode.
The First screen is with just the 2.4 band disabled.
The second screen is both wireless bands disabled.
The 3rd screen is USER ENabled Bridge.
These results have been consistent all mourning. (About the last 6 hours)
As you can see the speeds stay within in any margin of error. It has been like this all morning while testing.
There is a large difference in the ping (hope I explain this right) from enabling User Bridge mode versus shutting one or both bands of wireless.
I know the ping will not make a huge difference in general internet usage, mainly in online gaming which I do.
With all that said why would there be a large difference?
Also my IP address geo location changes from Florida when in non bridged to Kansas when in bridge? ( Yes my IP address does change when switching from non bridged to user bridge which obviously is why my geo loc changes)
Hoping maybe some others that test this out will do so and lets us know the findings.
One last thing to note when I enable user bridge mode the xfinity wifi spot is broadcasting. Scratch this. After further investigation the xfinity wifi network is a neighbors. A neighbor just recently got Comcast and that is what I was picking up. (Just got done testing with my eMTA unplugged)
