Slow wired connections
I have a WNR2000v4 connected to an 8channel, DOCSIS 3 surfboard modem hooked directly into my cable provider. My desktop sits right by the modem and router, so I have it wired into the router instead...
So the hardware functions at speed less a reasonable amount of overhead when used as a switch. When operating as advertised the overhead is >50%. It's not under warrenty because Netgear's warranty and customer service periods are way below par for industry standard. I guess I'll be replacing it with a competitor's brand. I'm looking at upgrading it with a much nicer Linksys model.
Are you saying a 10/100 router is incapable of 100Mbps? Or even 50Mbps?
It should at 50Mbps, but not 100, as there is bandwidth overhead. Have you changed the Ethernet cable between router and modem?
Yes, I upgraded the ethernet cables from both the modem to the router and the router to the pc.
