Only getting 94 Mbps WIRED with N300 Wireless Router WNR2000v3
I Only get 94 Mbps WIRED with my N300 Wireless Router WNR2000v3, even though my provider's speed clocks at 230 Mbps when directly connected to my modem. My provider is Xfinity. Does anyone know what ...
The specs for the N300 show that the wired ethernet ports are 10/100, not gigabit, so 94 Mbps wired is to be expected.
To NutOnABike:
Thanks for the suggestion. I like it because I wouldn't have to mess with setting up a new router.
But ... Don't I need a router - not a switch - directly connected to my modem so I can get the benefits of the router (proper device routing, automatic IP address assignment, and firewall)? I thought switches should only be connected downstream of a router, not upstream. I probably should just bite the bullet and buy a gigabyte router to get the higher speeds available by Comcast.
Thanks,

Doh, <facepalm> -- I'm sorry, I had a brain fade there. Of course you are right, you'll need a new router upstream.
