Thank you. One of the reasons I cleaned it up is BECAUSE the "cable guy" was coming by, seriously. I was paying for Gigabit fiber but only getting 100-200 megabits down. In the past I had gotten over 900, but I would constantly have times where I was getting very slow speeds. I would swap routers and it would help for a short period of time and then speeds would drop again. So I decided to purchase the Firewalla and move the Fiber drop right next to it and the office router (before the fiber drop was in the garage and the router was in the basement). This way everything to test the WAN is right next to each other. This and a network driver update fixed my problems. The hard part now is finding a reliable server to test speeds against. I just checked and it shows I was getting 58 Mb/s down this morning :(
