R6050 with mixed wired ethernet speed LAN clients
I have an AC750 R6050 Netgear Gigabit router with the WAN port connected to a Gigabit cable modem getting 1Gbps internet service. On the LAN side, I have a combination of 100Mbps wired ethernet clie...
In response to plemans :
Yes, at the moment only 1 Gigabit device is attached to the LAN side and according to the router "Statistics" is connected with a "Link speed" of "1000M/Full" which appears to mean that it is 1000Mbps = 1Gbps. Also on the WAN side of the router to the cable modem the link speed is at "1000M/Full".
The other wired devices on the LAN side, when they are on, their link speeds are only "100M/Full".
on the gigabit device, what actual speeds do you get when testing?
In response for more information to plemans
Speed tests:
Case I: Normal (via router to cable modem)
Testing time: 18m54s (real), 0m2.6s (user), 0m1.7s (sys)
Download/Upload: 18.39Mbit/s, 30.13Mbit/s
Case II: Normal VPN (via router to cable modem with VPN)
Testing time: 22.2s (real), 3.7s (user), 3.3s (sys)
Download/Upload: 145.35Mbit/s, 28.50Mbit/s
Case III: Direct normal (direct to cable modem)
Testing time: 23.5s (real), 4.9s (user), 6.1.s (sys)
Download/Upload: 299.17Mbit/s, 28.85Mbit/s
Case IV: Direct VPN (direct to cable modem with VPN)
Testing time: 23.0s (real), 3.9s (user), 3.8s (sys)
Download/Upload: 164.96Mbit/s, 28.01Mbit/s
Note that in Case I sometimes the test will fail with "failed name resolution" and it is typical that the testing time does take around 20 minutes!
try factory resetting the R6050. during the reinstall, leave it in its default configuration. Its one of the most base model gigabit device netgear makes. anything that analyzes traffic is going to cause issues.
also, make sure ipv6 is enabled
