    RX usage tripled

    Thanks and OK I will re evaluate my needs. Also I have no open any ports and If I need to access something like my Plex Server I just use Tailscale. I guess I have been lucky so far as to not have had any issues with the amount of scripts/sddons I've had installed.

    RX usage tripled

    I have and yes VNstat shows higher usage. With what Comcast shows its saying I am using like 52 GB a day, since the start of the month. Which is a significant uptick when we usually finish the month between 600-800GB used but at this rate we'll be at 1600 GB used.

    RX usage tripled

    Yeah like there is no need to have a data cap like it's not really harming them in anyways. At a minimum they should double it to 2.4 TB a month or something. But still is something I'd like to figure out as to what is causing the spike.

    TP-Link Archer A2300

    Thanks for the reply and while I haven't even had it setup up for 24 hours it seems to be working better than the old RT-N56U at least for hard wire and 5GHz. My best speed test result on the old router was like 260 down and 12 up hard wired which I never questioned as I have Xfinity and I'm...
