Modem to router speed slower than Modem to PC speed - RP614v2
Hello all! So Xfinity recently upgraded my bwidth fro 75 - 100Mbps :) I tried testing this 2 ways. I found the speed to exceed 100 Mbps via speedtest, when my pc was connected directly to my cable m...
I am having similar issues with an older WNDR4300 Router Router Firmware Version
V1.0.2.96. I wire straight to the PC I get 300Mbs + when I go through the router, I get 200 or < 200Mbs.
I'm leaning towards the port speeds on this thing. This router is ancient in terms of technology. Has served me well. So, I think I'm just going to try/buy a new one(probably the Asus RTAC68U )
So, since no one has responded yet, I will share what I've done so far. I had a small 4 port unmanaged switch in the network so when I eliminated that, the speed jumped up! The problem with home networking tech is that you never know for sure when the problem is a worn out or defective piece of equipment. Unless it's just dead, it's difficult to think of it being "broken".
I'm still not at the 300Mbs that I should be, so I think I will need to simply replace my router, unless anyone has anything I can try.
In my case, I think its just the router is too old. It doesnt even have gigabit ports. I just purchased the afore mentioned Asus router for a very good price. Waiting for it to arrive and will post results.
