I am in Las Vegas, NV and in the last three weeks have strange problem: I'm paying for 150Mbit Internet. During the day the speed is mostly around 150-170. In the evening, around 6PM, it slows down a...

Normally I have two devices connected but only one doing anything. The slowdown is on both wired and WiFi. The modem is a Cisco provided by Cox, the router is mine.

I did it several times. The speed remains the same as before the re-boot.
- Thanks for sharing, if you're able to duplicate the issue without the router it may be time to see about having a technician come out to troubleshoot further. If you'd like help getting that setup feel free to email us at cox.help@cox.com and be sure to include a link to this thread for reference purposes.
-ChrisFirst, this happens even when the router is out of the way. The problem is that it's not my local problem - it seems to be dependent on the time of day. Speeds are fine during the day, than they slow down from approximately 6PM to 10PM and than go back to normal. It looks like something to do with the Cox servers or the local mode. In the last couple of day the slow down is less severe, so I'm waiting to see if it will go away completely. If it doesn't I will have a tech come out, though it seems useless.
