can wndr3300 dual band with 150 mbps speed from Cox
My Netgear 3300 WMDR dual band seems to work fine but never get speeds as claimed by Cox. I have DOCSIS modem. They supposedly sending speeds up to 100BPS and I test and only get 25-45. Is this older router capable of sending these new speeds. Cox just sent me email they upped my speed to 150 MBPS and to reset the modem to get. I did so and no difference ..any suggestions?

Assuming that that's actually a WNDR3300[v1], then you have a nice antique.

My car has four wheels. Has your modem a maker and model number?

If that's a question ("?"), then probably not.

"test" how?

Get a router designed after 2007? Like time, technology marches on.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number, and look for Documentation. Get the WNDR3300 Setup Manual. Read. Look for "Interface Specifications" (toward the end):
LAN: 10BASE-T or 100BASE-Tx, RJ-45 WAN: 10BASE-T or 100BASE-Tx, RJ-45
With 100Mb/s Ethernet ports, you definitely won't get 150Mb/s through that router.

Thank you for your reply. I cannot or do not know how to read the various links you provided but the last one to check my spect for my router do indeed say the 100 so I guess thats all I will get. When I connect the laptop directly to the router I get 98 mbps ..is it usual to get only half that coming thru the router? I dont do heavy gaming but do have grandchildren who visit and want to connect.if I bite the bullet what model would you reccommend under like $200 that will take this new speed of 100 from Cox.

I assume that you meant "directly to the [unspecified] modem".

Still wondering.
When that router was designed, 50Mb/s might have been considered perky.

I don't recommend equipment here, but almost anything with the word "gigabit" (_not_ "Fast") or the number "1000" near "Ethernet" or "LAN" on the box would have a factor of ten advantage over your current antique. A quick look at bestbuy.com suggests that almost anything over about $70 would do. The letters "AC" would probably mean a newer generation of wireless, too. (Also probably hard to avoid above about $70.)
