I sent in a ticket to support on this but still haven't come up with a solution so I thought maybe some forum users might have an idea... I've got the WNDR4300 with the latest firmware. I use an A...
Doing a factory reset on my router WNDR4300 with latest firmware solved the issue. Now I am able to get 89MBPS on 5g & 75MBPS on 2g. Thanks a lot.
I think Netgear should allow users to manually update firmwares.
Per engineering, running 2-27Mbps is not bad at all in a noisy 2.4Ghz environment. If 5Ghz is better, we advise that you use that frequency instead.
Comcast has 2 classes of devices Retail and Commercial devices. Commercial devices are sold directly to Comcast and Comcast distributes them to their customers and these devices go through very extensive testing. Once a commercial cable gateway or cable modem has been certified it gets a 3 star rating. Retail devices are sold through retailers and are certified with Comcast as well but the testing criteria is different and once a retail cable modem or cable gateway has been certified it gets 1 star rating which means that it has been certified and is compatible with Comcast’s services. Currently there are no 3 star retail only cable modem or cable gateway because Comcast will not go through additional testing on retail device if they do not plan on selling them commercially as it requires a lot of extra time and resources.
Isaac85 The DOCSIS security/design requirements do not allow cable modem manufacturers to allow manual FW updates. All FW updates must go through the DOCSIS system where ISP's certify the FW then that FW is uploaded to TFTP and provisioning servers then pushed out to the users. The FW is secured using digital certificates and during the update process that digital certificate has to be verified for the FW to be successfully updated.
