D6100 5GHz extremely slow
Dears, I have an issue with D6100 5GHz wifi. I use Netgear for years (WNRL3500, WNDR4300, R7000, R8500). I know the software. Normally every day I use R7000 which connects with my notebook at the ...
Solved!
Original software from Netgear SUCKS!
I found firmware ver. 38 and I have FULL SPEED.
Ver .52 brings the same issue as the latest one.
Hi,
Sorry, by mistake I put not precise information.
When I mentioned that I connect D6100 as AP (to LAN) I connect from my cable modem (from ISP, set permanently as a bridge) to my R7000 (router, Wifi set to off) and via LAN to LAN port in D6100.
R7000 is not limiting the speed. That device can easily handle 500 mbit line without any issues.
If R7000 with its own wifi is able to saturize my internet line (160mbps), it should be no problem to achieve similar result with configuration R7000 (as cable router only) and D6100 (as AP; which is AC1200: 300mbit + 867 mbit)
What modem is it? model?
Firmware on the R7000? this is key as the R7000 is known to have firmware issues.
If you're going modem------wan port on R7000---lan port on R7000----wan port on D6100 What speeds do you get with a computer connected to the lan port on the D6100?
ISP modem: set as BRIDGE - Cisco ESP3925
Router Netgear R7000: FreshTomato 19.3
D6100: latest original Netgear firmware
Full speed of my internet line is 160mbit
I got 160mbps on: R7000 (LAN and 5GHz), D6100 (connected as AP, computer connected to D6100 via LAN)
Wifi connection to D6100:
2.4 GHz - max c.a. 78 mbit (which is ok, as the channel is 20Mhz)
5.0 Ghz - max 32 mbps (set in the fastest mode in the firmware settings)
