Extremely slow speed r8300
Hi I am getting very slow speeds through my router. I have R8300 router and a CM1000 modem, using it with Xfinity Comcast. This issue started out of nowhere and without any input from me. Comcast ha...
I have another Netgear router in the office that has a similar power adapter. I will try that. However, do you really think the power adapter being faulty would have anything to do with wifi speed?
Thanks.
Possibly. Power line spikes or surges can have a cumulative negative impact on the power adapters. If the adapter is not providing power within specification the device can function in a marginal manner.
You seem to be thorough in your approach and since it is something you did not firmly rule out, and with the lack of progress with other items, it was an idea.
You said you'd connected another router and it worked fine?
what happens if you use that router in router mode and put the R8300 in AP mode? AP mode disables several functions that do traffic inspection and can slow speeds. Curious if something is fubar'd in that.
