I use Charter/Spectrum for my internet service provider. They recently upgraded the base MBPS to 100 from 60. When I do a speed test, it shows my download to be 68 MBPS, not the base 100 MBPS. When I inquired about this to a Charter Service Rep. he told me that my router (Netgear N750 WNDR4300v2 Premium) could NOT utilize the 100 MBPS & that was the reason I was NOT getting the new 100 MBPS rtae. Said I needed to buy a newer/faster router in order to get the base, increased MBPS.Is this correct? If so, what Netgear Router would you recommend I upgrade to. Thanks.

pharmerphil Thank you for responding. I would recommend to run a speed test with the device wired directly to the modem. If you're still getting the same speeds I would suggest contacting your ISP as you may need to upgrade your modem. Regards,Christian

What is the maximum MBPS the N750 can handle?

Hi pharmerphil,

How are you running the speed test, wired or wireless? Could you also provide the model number to the modem you're using.

Thanks,
Christian

  Christian, I am running the speed test "wired", as "wired" works best in my concrete walled "berm home". The modem was supplied by Charter/Spectrum. It is an Arris TM1602 & is about 2 yrs. old. Thanks.
