My Netgear 3300 WMDR dual band seems to work fine but never get speeds as claimed by Cox. I have DOCSIS modem. They supposedly sending speeds up to 100BPS and I test and only get 25-45. Is this ...

"test" how?

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
and look for Documentation. Get the WNDR3300 Setup Manual. Read. Look
for "Interface Specifications" (toward the end):LAN: 10BASE-T or 100BASE-Tx, RJ-45
WAN: 10BASE-T or 100BASE-Tx, RJ-45With 100Mb/s Ethernet ports, you definitely won't get 150Mb/s through
that router.

Thank you for your reply. I cannot or do not know how to read the various links you provided but the last one to check my spect for my router do indeed say the 100 so I guess thats all I will get. When I connect the laptop directly to the router I get 98 mbps ..is it usual to get only half that coming thru the router? I dont do heavy gaming but do have grandchildren who visit and want to connect.if I bite the bullet what model would you reccommend under like $200 that will take this new speed of 100 from Cox.

Still wondering.
When that router was designed, 50Mb/s might have been considered
perky.> [...] what model would you reccommend under like $200 [...]
I don't recommend equipment here, but almost anything with the word
"gigabit" (_not_ "Fast") or the number "1000" near "Ethernet" or "LAN"
on the box would have a factor of ten advantage over your current
antique. A quick look at bestbuy.com suggests that almost anything over
about $70 would do. The letters "AC" would probably mean a newer
generation of wireless, too. (Also probably hard to avoid above about
$70.)
