N450 CG3000Dv2 WiFi slow down
I am looking to solve a slow down issue. I recently installed the router on my network and was able to attain download speeds in the 50 to 60 mbps range. After connecting my computer, iPad, and phone, I am not getting anything above 4 to 5 mbps. I called my ISP and they do not report any outages and are able to communicate with the modem just fine. I LAN conneted to the modem and was still only able to get 5 to 6 mbps. I understand my download speed will vary depending on the usage of each device, but I would not think it would diminish so drastically. Is there anyway to configure the router so that I can maximize the speeds? or is this a common problem for the router/modem? Thanks!Very Slow Speeds / Dropping 50% of Packets on Pings to Google
Hi All, I have a Netgear C3700 that has worked great for the year I have had it but 2 days ago it began giving very slow speeds on what should be a 20Mbps cable internet connection. Pings to the rtr IP 192.168.0.1 are fine both wired and wireless with no packet loss but pings to 8.8.8.8 -n 20 are consistently 50% of packets. The ISP has installed a new drop because the old one had been spliced many times and signal levels on this new drop are in proper range. The ISP temporarily hooked one of their modems to the line and speeds were good with 0 packet loss. Hooked the negear back up and reactivated on their end but still the same. So has my modem/router gone bad (its about a year old) or is more likely an issue with the way my ISP is iterfacing with this rtr? ex maybe they need to push a firmware update or just issues on their WAN? I would think if the netgear were defective it would be dropping packets on LAN pings as well but I maybe I am wrong. I have of power cyced the netgeard rtr, reseated the cabling, and hard reset it as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
