Abysmal performance - wired or wireless. New behavior
I have Comcast and pay for 150Mbps downstream. I checked at the modem and I'm getting ~100Mbps down and ~12Mbps upstream. I'll not quibble with the downstream performance at this point. Through t...
I got an email from NETGEAR Community asking if these answers provided a solution. Well, not really. I did get that my router would not provide 150Mbps, although I do recall speeds of nearly 100Mbps in the past. The solution to my problem was to purchase a new router - a N600-level product from D-Link. The comparable NETGEAR routers were much, much more expensive. Compare routers at SmallNetBuilder.com

reboot the modem and contact comcast, If you own the modem it needs to be a Dociss 3 modem, then buy a router capable of that 150MBps yours is not. Also you need to use WPA2 for security
I've used both the Comcast Speet Test and others, the Comcast test is to a nearby server so it's slanted toward making Comcast look good, of course.
No it's how you test the comcast network. A test site located further away would not give you the actual comcast speed rather a combined lower speed.
I can connect to my Comcast modem and exceed my 50/10 service, but the router slows it down to less than 1/2 mbps upload speeds and my download speed is closer to 7 - 30 mbps. That is a laptop connected wired directly attached to one of the 4 ports. Anyone have similar issues? Should I simply get an RMA? (RMAs are free, support costs money!)
