download speed

[bgt48]

I have 100Mbps service from my cable company. If I connect my computer to my cable modem (via Cat 5 cable) and run a speed test, I get 110Mbps download speed and 12Mbps upload speed.

But if I connect my computer to my WNDR3400 router (via Cat 5 cable)  and from the router to the cable modem (via Cat 5 cable) and then run a speed test, I get 65Mbps download and 12Mbps upload.

Why is there such a download speed loss?

Hi @bgt48,

1. What is the firmware version of the router?

2. The WNDR3400 may not be able to go beyond 100Mbps since it only has 10/100 Ethernet ports.

3. Have tried changing the MTU values? The links below may help out.
