Fast LAN speed/slow WiFi speeds
I sent in a ticket to support on this but still haven't come up with a solution so I thought maybe some forum users might have an idea... I've got the WNDR4300 with the latest firmware. I use an A...
Doing a factory reset on my router WNDR4300 with latest firmware solved the issue. Now I am able to get 89MBPS on 5g & 75MBPS on 2g. Thanks a lot.
For what it's worth, I punted and bought a separate wireless router and connected it to my Netgear C3000. Ansolutely nothing I did could raise the WiFi speed of the C3000 above about 1-2mbps max. Mostly it was right around 1mbps. Totally pitiful. And this was consistant using different machines, different locations in the house, disabling WMM, different channels, and channels that didn't conflict with any other signals in the neighborhood. And this is with full 25+mpbs coming in on the cable (our current plan is a 25mbps plan from Comcast/Xfinity).
So, I bought a separate wireless router (from a different vendor), disabled the WiFi antenna on the C3000, and am now using the C3000 as just a cable modem with the WiFi router connected through the ethernet cable. With the external router we're back up to 25+mbps on WiFi which is the max speed on our current Comcast/Xfinity plan.
It appears that the antenna and WiFi section on the C3000 is just not up to the task... Humph.
I guess I should consider myself lucky for the speed I'm getting, which is far more than you're getting. But I'm not, and will not be either satisfied untill I get at least half of what the LAN is putting out. I wish I knew from which end to this issue is responsible for making it right. Netgear or Xfinity.
