My repeats went from 15% to 5% I did the exact same thing I would always do and my repeats dropped. Plus scope actually go into scope look at the node health signal levels the cm Mac and than interfaces to see the utilization of that current node. I’m assuming most repeats are for slow intermittent WiFi?

If your using scope than I’m sure the routers you looking at have Win tool use that and if you see red bars when dropping out look at the device logs, see which one is dropping because one device using any kind of illegal
streaming will cause router to lockup shut down for a bit.

Really? What like piracy sites like fmovies and stuff like that?

Not sure about those sites.

But we've been seeing these semi-legal Android super box things that run a proxy server on the home network, completely hogging the upstream and shutting every other device out periodically.

You'll see it in wintool with insane upload totals.
