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.
I'm consistently getting slower speeds through my wireless connection vice hardware. Hardwire directly into my modem I have 25Mbs download, yet wired I only get ~12Mbs. I've check and the router is stating it has the latest firmware (V1.0.1.14). Any suggestions?
I had this problem a while back and it just seemed to resolve itself, but it seems to be back. Of note, the wifi speed was down to less than 5MBs, but after a restart it jumped up to the now 12MBs.
If you can make sure that it's not an Ethernet cable problem then it's time to get a new router.
This matter should have been corrected by the firmware and reset.
Anything we can do short of purchasing a new router? My router began having these dreadful wifi speeds about 3 1/2 months into owning my netgear product. If these things really crap out that soon, that'd be a shame. I've done virtually everything recommended in this thread and am still experiencing speeds < half of my LAN speed. My LAN speed is fantastic and strong, but as soon as I hard wire or connect to my router wirelessly those speeds diminish. In fact, I get almost NO upload which is difficult because I produce music and tend to share it with people which is impossible with 0.1kbps upload speeds. I've resorted to transferring my songs onto my phone and uploading them via my phone's 4G network. I feel like I'm wasting money paying for internet that I don't get to enjoy because of a cheap product. I'm pretty financially strained and going out of my way to purchase a nicer router isn't realistic. I'm on the latest firmware version, have found unused wifi channels to set my wireless connections to, hard-reset my router, tried different cables and more. If this is how netgear products operate, I don't think I'll wanna buy them in the future.
