Slow WiFi and I can't figure out why
I can't make this short so here goes. We have Xfinity Internet and TV and our package includes 200 Mbps internet upload and 5 Mbps download speeds. We use a Arris SB6190 modem that we own and a NetG...
Well like I said, I might sound like I know what I am talking about but I really don't. I bought the router new at Best Buy and I had no clue when it was first manufactured, but it seems to be not much more than 5 years ago or less when I bought it, but who know, time flies. So at Amazon the heading for this router says "Netgear WNDR4500-100PAS N900 Dual Band Gigabit Wifi Route", and Gigabit sounds pretty big ...... so are you saying that "gigabit" only pertains to wired speed?
You'll not ever see anything near 900Mpbs or Gb speeds over wireless with this model router. Was never ment or designed to support that speed. You may see near 900Mpb on a wired ethernet connetion however being that this model is that old, was predating some ISP Gb speeds that are seen now days. This model may or may not have CutThru or HW NAT Accelleration support which is needed to see near 900Mpbs on ethernet connections.
Sure, but I don't care about getting 900, like I said I'm only paying Xfinity for 200 so wouldn't expect more. But as I also said in my original post I'm getting 2 to 20 Mbps max wifi anywhere in the house and matters not whether it's on 2.4 or 5 ghz ............ it's all slow as can be.
