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...
Has anybody come up with any solutions to this problem? I have the same issue. C3000 cable modem.
- I have 25Mbps plan from Comcast
- when connected by wire to the modem, I get 25+Mbps
- I've already contacted Comcast/Xfinity, they've verified that things look good from their end and the modem is synced with them
- On wifi I get between 1Mbps and 3Mbps download - this is consistent across multiple Macs, in multiple locations in the house
- I get around 4-5Mbps upload which is within spec - it's just the download that is unusably slow
- I've changed channels - no change. I've made sure that I'm the only local wifi on that channel - no change.
- I've disabled WMM support (as per some other web suggestions) - no change.
The wifi is unusably slow - isn't there anyone who can tell what's going on here!?!?!?!
Thanks!
