Slow Wired Speed JNR3210
I noticed something very odd today, and I dont get it.
When my desktop pc is wired into the router I get ~41Mbps download speeds, and ~4 Mbps upload. When I plug my desktop directly into the modem itself, I get over 60 Mbps down, and 8 Mbps up. What is causing this? Is there any way to fix this?
What I do:
- all new cat 5e cables.
- change MTU,
- reboot,
- reset the settings,
- turn of QoS,
...
what can I do? This is a powerful 620MHz chipset, so I don't know why is so slow by wired 1Gbps
Now I'm using openDNS and I add a blocked domains to blacklist. Router works with full speed.
I wait for ASUS RT-N18U whith has a native Prinserver. No more stupid Netgear USB Control App.
Maybe in future I buy again a Netgear product but for now thank you for (no)support.
Best regards

Welcome to the community, @zakk87
Reinstall/update the firmware, factory reset and then reconfigure.
Observe your connection afterwards.
How long have you had the unit?
Perhaps, the router starting to degrade.- Thanks for the reply. Today I reset the unit 30-30-30 but after restore my config again slow speed. So I reset to factory again, and after on a firewall speed slow down and I cant go into GUI. Now I'm trying WNR3500L v2 with tomato by shibby and Works good with qos and firewall. Very weird but jnr3210 has a 620MHz CPU and 3500l 480MHz but Mipsel.
I must change the router, because 3500L has a bad wifi coverage.
