NOTE: If you want the actual questions, skip down past this stuff to...
Because of my dad's new thin client, we have to have a VPN router, which is fine, except for the fact that it's always connected and consumes more bandwith than a software VPN connection.
We've got Comcast, and we're supposed to be getting 6mbps down, however we have a very low signal even coming into our house, and while we do have an Amplifier, it's not helping too much internet wise, or doesn't seem like it.
The cable modem is currently behind an amplifier, and we're getting on average, high 2mbps, and low 3mbps, however the VPN router sucks bandwith like no other, like 1.5mbps. Last night when it was connected, but not being used our bandwith was around 1.5mbps, or 1.2mbps. Not much to my liking.
HERE!:
So, is there anyway to get our base connection faster? Like closer to the 6mbps?
And to figure out if 3mbps of it is our neighboorhood, what's the time when it's least likely to be used, so it would be just us on the network for a fastest theoretical speed.
