slow speeds on a netgear n300/c3000
My cable modem is only at around 30 mbs wired and 27 wireless. The spectrum equipment is around 180. Don't want to pay for Spectrum router. My netgear is supposed to go up to 300. I understand it...

Check your line for splitters or signal attenuators. remove them if you have them.
Then check the line for loose, old, bad, cheap connections. Replace them if you have them.
Check the line for kinks, damage, or cheap cables.
Reason I say this is you only have 1x locked upstream and downstream channel.
You should have more.
Plus your power levels are low for the downstream and a touch high for the upstream. meaning either you're a bit of a distance away from the hub or you have something attenuating the signal.
- bporrasJun 12, 2021AspirantThx. Will check. Called spectrum again. Again they say signal is weak. Sending tech tomorrow. Only thing is once they are here they say nothing is wrong. Frustrating.
