I will try the new software and am totally happy trying lots of things. The odd thing to me is that nothing has changed. Literally nothing for many years and now suddenly this weird speed thing. I have a Mac and can do all of the updating, in the past they only allowed the PA to be updated by PC I think but in quickly looking at the link you sent, perhaps they have now created everything for both Mac and PC.
I used the MobileTouch to adjust the speeds and that is the only way they seem to stick. I haven't tried unplugging the PA yet as it is under the house and a bit of a pain to get to. I know it doesn't really belong there, but it was an easy location for me at the time, is well protected, and haven't needed to touch it in years. Let me try all of these updates and see what happens. Seems a reasonable chance that this will fix it, but bugs me that the MT will work fine and is only the Mac and iPhone that won't work. I could also try my wife's phone as I haven't tried that either. Thanks again!!
