RAX45 Slow Speeds
I just upgraded my comcast connection from 200mbps -> 400mbps. Since then, I am able to get 450+ mbps straight to my computer bypassing the router. When the router is connected (even with firmware up...
It's abysmyl on both. Just tested it and I"m getting 47 on the 5G. I can't have this...
Since you upgraded you servcie, did you try a factory reset and reinstall?
Yes I factory reset it. I am also getting 450+ coming straight from the modem to my computer. Every work computer in the apartment is clocking <100 each time (varies quite significantly between runs)... I don't know what to do. Is this a firmware thing?
I relocated my router and it jumped up to 160ish for my devices. Is that a reasonable threshold?
If I'm guaranteed 400 from my ISP shouldn't my router (which I believe can transmit that) match it?
Thanks for the help. :)
Usually the bottleneck with wifi speeds isn't the router but the device you're using.
As well as distance/interference.
160mbps isn't an unreasonable speed depending exactly what your setup it.

what device are you testing on?
What is your home made from (interior) and how big is it?
How close to the router are you?
