R6250 Wireless Router cuts my hardwired internet connection speeds in half
R6250 - I don't understand... I have verfied (by provider and various speed testes) 100 MBPS when I make a hard wired connection from my modem to my desktop. Then when I switch over to wireless I am at best only getting 50 MBPS. Actually all my wireless devices are running slow the desktop was just the easiest to connect to the modem for speed testing. Any ideas?
Hi sbhall4060,
1. What is the firmware version of the router?
2. Have you tried resetting the router?
3. Have you tried using a different cable to connect the router to the modem?
4. You can try changing the MTU values. The links below may help out.
