Bought a NETGEAR router, and now my internet speed has slowed down almost to a halt.
I realized that my old router wasn't doing too well, so I replaced it with a new one. For whatever reason, since I installed it, my internet has been super slow.
I tried plugging my computer straight into the modem, and I was getting 50+ up, and also good rates down.
I plugged the router back in, and my internet is crawling. I did a speed test earlier, and it was showing sub 1 down. I tried messing with the router settings via the web portal, but nothing seems to be working.
I live in a tiny apartment, so distance should not be an issue. I messed around with the different channels, but nothing seems to be working.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Re: Bought a NETGEAR router, and now my internet speed has slowed down almost to a halt.
Some actual details might help.
1. what router did you buy?
2. what firmware is on it?
3. what modem/gateway is it connected to?
4. what devices and service are you using for speedtesting?

- Did you reset the modem before you connected the new router?
- Did you reboot the network in the required order?
