If you love WW1 history...I'm reading "The Guns of August" by Barbara Tuchman....great book that really puts you in the feel of the late 19th-early 20th century period.

The more I study WW1, the more I'm convinced it is the biggest turning point of world history.

It was surely one of them. And Wilson's role in provoking and greatly prolonging the war on behalf of our country was an absolute catastrophe. I don't want to stray into the matter. Suffice it to say, the war would have ended fairly quickly by armistice except for Wilson promising to enter and continually delaying, while selling weapons and running a racist propaganda campaign against "Huns." That's why the Allies would not come to the table and millions of young men were killed for nothing. Then Wilson's moralistically posturing and idiotically punishing them so extremely severely at Versailles that a rebellion against that Treaty was foreordained. The two World Wars are really one war. The rise of the Soviets in devastated Germany originated in the same mess, but I'll skip that, except to note that the post war inflation there was so extreme that it required wheel barrows full of money to buy bread.

Can you run the ethernet cable directly into a laptop or your computer to see if speeds improve to make sure it really is the router?

I haven’t tried that yet…. Speeds go high and then drop…. Still able to stream on 2.4 near the router….. bedrooms won’t connect any more….. 5G won’t work on any device…. My internet ran a speed test on my modem and said that it’s speed was steady and good.

I have a Netgear nighthawk and it worked fine until now…. We do have two extenders also…. We stream 3 TVs… PlayStation 5…..Desktop gaming cpu … 6 phones… iPad/laptop sparingly…. I want as cheap as I can get but quality is a must…. I don’t mind paying more if the quality is poor

Demographically for Europe, an asteroid strike. Morally, the earth opened beneath a generation and swallowed hope & meaning.

Headlines could have read: "ARMISTICE DECLARED; SATAN WINS"

That is a serious router but that's also a serious load on it if you're streaming a lot at once *but* the first I have to ask is - are you sure it's the router?

Also, don't wifi a desktop gaming PC. PLUG IN! The best router won't compete with an Ethernet cable.
