Netgear C3000 LAN speed ok slow wifi
hi I have a netgear C3000 modem. My ISP is Comcast and the plan speed is 50MPS. My wired conenction seems to yield that speed but wireless drops to 12MBPs or even 5 MBPs most of the time. Tried c...
When I do a speed test I am getting similar speeds on my phone and mac? Today it was about 20MBPs after I rebooted the modem.
Can you run a LAN-LAN throughput test using a utility like Netstress or similar? This might help identify where the loss of throughput is occurring. 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?
We 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?
