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.
Sounds like a hardware problem. If this is still under warranty, contact support and get an RMA.

Sorry to hear that it didn't work for you.
Normally, this should have been resolved by uploading the latest firmware and doing a factory reset.
