NightHawk x10 r9000 bottlenecking internet/ Not getting Full internet speed
I have a CM700 netgear Modem (1.4GBps capable) the R9000 currently paying my ISP for a gigabit Have had a tech come out twice to check the connections, both time, same results as follows: when ch...
- -wired speed from the modem measured with the ISP Tech guys device was 960
-Wired speed measured with the Mac is 400
-Wired speed measured with the Xbox is 10-20
All that being said, the ISP tech came out again and ran new cables from the telephone pole and installed one of their modems, the speeds improved significantly as follows:
-wired speed with ISP Techs device is 960
-wired speed with Mac is 600-700
-wired speed with Xbox is 150-300
I think there is something wrong with the Xbox for it not to be getting the full speed but it is getting a good amount so I'm happy with it for now.
I mean that I checked it with an Ethernet through the router and then through the modem and it would not connect to the modem at all and the speed listed was what I got through the router but I figured out the problem it was the modems chipset so the modem was the issue
I suggest focussing on wired performance first, then circling back to wifi.
I'm not completely sure I'm following this correctly, But I think you are saying
-wired speed from the modem output is measured at 960 mbits with the mac pro
-wired speed from the router LAN output is confirmed to be 400 mbits with the same mac pro
-wired speed to the router from the xbox is on measured at 20-40 mbits.
If correct:
The router is capable of keeping up with the modem output (smallnetbuilder measured 938 mbits WAN->LAN throughput). I'm not sure what is causing speed drop, but I am wondering if you have another PC or MAC to test with.
But i'd start with the horrible xbox wired performance. That is either a hardware problem with the xbox, a bad cable, or a LAN port issue with the router. You can rule out the cable by trying another one (likewise with the LAN port).
