Slow Wi-Fi speed but have great speed when hardwareed.

Question

I have a C6250 purchase&nbsp; 1-1-2023. I have 300 mb when hardwired to my pc. On WiFi&nbsp; I only have 0-49mb. My Feit&nbsp; lights&nbsp; say Network Error. Please Check.&nbsp; Obviously it's with the C6250. The only item I have hardwire is my PC. The only WiFi items are my security cameras, and&nbsp; lights. I just added&nbsp; 3Google WiFi extenders.

Yes they are a Google Mesh system.&nbsp;What is strange is&nbsp; Netgear92-5G does not appear on my computer but does on my IPHONE....The Google ID is num 1.&nbsp;

Google wifi extenders?&nbsp;
What actual models did you have as they have a mesh system but not extenders.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Also, are you testing speeds on the c6250 over 2.4ghz or 5ghz? 2.4ghz is a much slower network and sensitive to interference.&nbsp;
the 5ghz is going to be much faster but not have as much range or penetration power.&nbsp;

plemans · Answer

Not really strange if your computer is a single band device.&nbsp;
You have to have a dual band device to see the 5ghz.&nbsp;
what wireless card is in the pc?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Also, why are you using the google mesh and the netgear?&nbsp;
You can just use the google mesh by putting the netgear in modem only mode and then you're not in a double nat.&nbsp;

How do I change to Modem mode only?&nbsp; I tried the 2G and 5G on my Iphone settings and tried the Speedtest.net and get "Test Failed". I am using Optimum Pluse as server. They came out and said I am getting&nbsp; 300&nbsp;

Manuals are always a good place to start.Visit the support pages:Support | NETGEARFeed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.Check the section in the manual Cable the Modem Router to a Router and Use Bridge Mode.
