The strange behavior was a critically slow internet connection first thing in the morning that wasn't fixed by a reboot or modem power cycle. My net0 monitor didn't show any traffic but I still wonder if the upstream pipe could have been clogged with data. My problem seemed to be the downstream but I think a full upstream pipe can slow the downstream? No ISP reports online and it cleared up after a short while. I haven't seen that before. Would you be concerned? Is there a separate device I can put on the network to monitor traffic so I can review it later on?
