It may also help to repeat that test at a different location e.g. a friend or relative’s house, a LAN-LAN test should not need an Internet connection. How long does it typically take for the throughput to drop? - va_c3000_sjNov 23, 2015AspirantWe just activated a new C3000. If I connect the laptop using a cable to the Modem-ROuter(C3000) , I get a speed test result of 70+ MBPS. When I connect using wifi , I do not get beyond 20MBPS. I have configured it to Channel 9 reviewing all used channels in the vicinity. The router is supposed to support 300MBPS . so why cann I not go beyond 20MBPS. I checked the mode that is also set to be at 150Mbps. Can you help? Vijay
