Hi,

I am trying to find out what speed my router is capable of.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

   I'm trying to imagine what your (unspecified) "my router" might be.
Look for "Model" on the product label.

   With that datum in hand, you might try this radical concept:

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
and look for Documentation.  Get some.  Read.

   What's that, a MAC address?  Not useful to me.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Could WNR2000 be the model number?

Thanks again.

   It could, but there were different "vX" suffixes for different
hardware versions.

   Did you?  Did it say "WNR2000" or "WNR2000v5", or what?

Whatever the hardware version, from V1 to V5 there is a speed limit on the local network. That's down the hardware.

According to Netgear's manual for these devices, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer Internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet. It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support 1000BASE-TX.

The wifi does not support 5 GHz wifi either.

Nothing wrong with it being old, just don't expect too much.

As to your question, just asking about speed doesn't mean much without an explanation of what you want to do.
