Slower Speed on Ethernet
I just installed the router and have noticed a problem. When running speed test from my wired PC, the speed is around 30 download. I currently have 100 from spectrum. Before switching the router out ...
Hi - it’s possible you have a faulty wire. Could you try these steps please:
First set your bandwidth to your expected speeds in Anti-Bufferbloat advanced options. Then set Anti-Bufferbloat to 'Never'.
Reset distribution on Bandwidth Allocation for both download & upload. Also make sure share excess for both download & upload on Bandwidth Allocation are checked (also in advanced options)
Then remove/disable any rules for Traffic Prioritization.
Redo the Speedtest . If you don't get your full speeds after that then disable QoS completely within Anti-Bufferbloat's settings and try again.
If it’s still slow, try a different Ethernet cable.
If the problem still persists, please contact Netgear’s 24/7 support and they will help: https://www.netgear.com/support/contact.aspx
