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
The TM822g is a DOCSIS 3.0 modem capable of 300Mbps, according to Arris, so I know the problem is in the router. Comcast is out of the equation other than them supplying only 100Mbps v. the 150 I pay for. I realize the router is not capable of 150Mbps throughput, as the ethernet connections are only 100Mbps, but I DO anticipate that the rates would be better than 10Mb if there is only one device connected to the router, via Cat-5 cable, and a short one, at that.
Are you suggesting the WPA2 security is faster than others? Are you suggesting that WPA2 security has something to do with a wired router-to-PC connection? Or are you only suggesting that WPA2 would be a good wireless security protocol to use? I am unclear on your answer.
And yes, using Comcast Speed Test really only tests the Comcast network, not the speed of the internet in general.
Thank you for your comments, but I'm not sure they target the problem I'm having.
