N450 CG3000Dv2 WiFi slow down

I am looking to solve a slow down issue.

 

I recently installed the router on my network and was able to attain download speeds in the 50 to 60 mbps range. After connecting my computer, iPad, and phone, I am not getting anything above 4 to 5 mbps. I called my ISP and they do not report any outages and are able to communicate with the modem just fine. I LAN conneted to the modem and was still only able to get 5 to 6 mbps. I understand my download speed will vary depending on the usage of each device, but I would not think it would diminish so drastically.

 

Is there anyway to configure the router so that I can maximize the speeds? or is this a common problem for the router/modem?

 

Thanks!

    Hello aceman50

     

    If you are getting that slow of speed over wired connection then something is either wrong with the Speed your ISP is providing or with the modem. I would try to factory reset the modem to make sure something didnt mess up when it updated the Firmware from the ISP. after that if you check again with the ISP you may want to contact Netgear support.
