Cm500 speeds low
Hi everyone. I have spectrum 400 mbps. Unfortunately my speeds are only 100. Spectrum tested their lines and it should be getting 400. Even if I plug my computer directly into the modem I only get 2...

How do I get to the modem page?
I tried 192.168 but that's the router page.
Also the linksys app speed test shows 400 mbps

So the linksys speedtest is showing 400?
That indicates the modem and the router are getting full speed.
How are testing this?
What device are you using?
What website?
Are you testing hardwired? Wireless? (2.4ghz or 5ghz)
- jay71787Mar 21, 2021AspirantThis is what I don't get. If I plug my laptop into the router I get 100. But if I go into the linksys app which also uses speed test.net they show 400. Not sure how or why.
Hardwired into the modem is 250
Hardwired into router is about 110
Wireless is around 100
I used speed test.net
It shows the wifi has 5g- antinodeMar 21, 2021Guru

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for
"Log In to the Cable Modem".
> [...] If I plug my laptop into the router I get 100 [...]What, exactly, is your "my laptop"? How fast is its Ethernet
interface? Try a different computer (preferably one with a Gb/s-capable
interface)?
A defective Ethernet cable can limit the speed, too. All eight
conductors are needed for 1Gb/s speed; only (the right) four are needed
for lower speeds.- jay71787Mar 22, 2021Aspirant
