WNDR4500 and throttling throughput of ATT Fiber

Installed ATT 1000 and the router is throttling Mbps to 100 whereas I get over 500 when I connect directly to the ATT router.

 

Current set up is ATT Router wired to N900.

 

Any suggestions?  I basically must go through the N900.

 

The N900 has the latest firmware

 

TIA

  • Solved:  I changed out the eithernet cable between the router and the wall outlet.   Seems to be working now, however I found that the cord on the power supply had frayed so I bought a switch for $10 more than what a new power supply would cost.

    Welcome to the community, km1029

     

    I suggest that you try to hard reset the router by following the steps below.

     

    1. With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on the back of unit for 30seconds.
    2. Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds.
    3. Power on the unit while STILL pushing the reset button and count for another 30 seconds before letting it go.

     

    After reset, reconfigure the router to get back the Internet access.
