Huh weird I meen I know that neither my cable model or wifi pizzapan from linksys as a cisco wifi pizza pan something plastic doodad. And for some reason had always ocasionally tried restarting the modem and pizzapan. And for some reason(ocassionally) I'll suddenly get better speeds again. And the claim I've read: well: it's 'homenetworking, finding a less congested bit of the network. And I always wondered: but is that actually the case. And if so, if people knew why. Or at the very least some sort of guess. So thought: ask here.
