WNR2020 Hardwired slower than advertised
My WNR2020 is advertised at 300mbps but my hard wired computer only gets 100mbps. I have a Motorola DOCSIS MB7220 and I get 150 mbp's connecting directly. I have CAT5e cables.

The WNR2020 has LAN/WAN support for 100BASE-Tx. It will not go faster than 100 Mbps with wired devices, including the modem.
The 300 Mbps probably refers to the speed that you can use with wifi connections.
You router is slower than your Internet. To get near to 150 Mbps you need a router that supports at least 1000BASE-Tx.

Thanks. Good to know.
Really? Bit of a nuisance.
