I am experiencing slow wifi speeds on my WNR2500 N450 router. I have a 100/5 Mbps internet connection and I am able to get these speeds both wirelessly and hardwired from my DOCSIS gateway, but I am only able to get about 16/5 Mbps on my Netgear router. I have disabled the 2.4 GHz band on my DOCSIS gateway and verified that there is no co-channel or adjacent channel interference affecting the router which is set on channel 6. I have replaced the DOCSIS gateway (went from an ARRIS to a Technicolor), swapped ethernet cables, tested on multiple devices (Macbook air, iPhone 6S Plus, Dell Laptop) Made sure that all devices on my network are N compatible, updated the firmware (currently on version V1.0.0.32NA) Factory reset the router several times and I'm still having the same issue. Is there something simple that I'm missing? I would appreciate any help I could get on this.
I have had the router for about two years, but I've kept it in the box until this week and just used my DOCSIS gateway for WiFi. I had the same issue on the previous firmware and only updated it to see if it would help correct the issue. I followed your reset instructions and afterwards, my router showed only a blinking power light for about 20 minutes. After it came back up I am still seeing the same speeds. Average of 18/5 Mbps.
