N600 C3700 Wifi Speeds Slow
I have an N600 C3700 cable modem/wifi router, and I am having trouble with the speed of my wifi connection. I have Comcast Blast 150Mbps service, and my wired connection typically gets 175-180Mbps (testing with both Speedtest.net and Xfinity's speed test site). However when on wifi I typically am getting 25-30Mbps on the 2.4GHz channel and maybe up to 50Mbps on the 5GHz channel. I’ve tried on two different android phones, two ipads, and a macbook air, and all have those same slow results over wifi. Tested when within about 3 feet of the router, all the way to 20 feet away. I have run the tests dozens of times over the past several days and those results are consistent. I have checked all the settings on the router and all appear to be per Netgear recommendations. I am using WPA2-PSK [AES] security and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz are set to the “Up to 300 Mbps” mode (I understand I'm not going to get 150 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, but I think I should get it on the 5 GHz). There are no neighboring wifi signals on the channels I am using so it is not an interference issue, nor are there any other possible interference signals in my home that I am aware of. I have tried disabling the encryption and still get the same speed. This morning I did a factory reset and confirmed I’m on the latest firmware (v2.02.06) and I still have the same problem. Any guidance on how to increase the wifi speed?R7000 - Disney Circle - Internet speeds through router slowdown
Creating a new thread to focus on this one issue. I don't believe this is a general slow wifi/slow internet issue, but is clearly Circle related. All tests done on wired connection via my Netgear R7000. I have a cable internet plan advertised as 150/15. This was all done on firmware 1.0.9.14, and I did a factory reset and setup my options yesterday fresh. I have never enabled QoS or Web Traffic. I do have IPv6 configured and it works. Circle was enabled now for 24 hours. Speed slowly sinks down to 37Mbps. I see this speedtest: Turn off Circle via webpage on router and hit apply. This saves quickly, no reboot of router. Now I see full speed, and see how solid the download speed is? I turn Circle back on, hit apply and I get this speed test. All tests run inside 2 minutes: Turn Circle back off, and retest. Going to leave it off for 24 hours now to test: Looking for any support from Netgear if this is expected, and if it is fixable. Willing to help test if needed, as Cirlce seems like a great feature.RN3220 / RN4200 Crippling iSCSI Write Performance
I've got a mixed OEM ecosystem with several Tier 2 RN3220's and RN4200's along with Tier 1 EqualLogic storage appliances. All ReadyNAS appliances have 12 drive compliments Seagate Enterprise 4TB drives in them. I wanted to be able to use the ReadyNAS' as iSCSI options, particuarly for maintainance cycles on the storage network, so I re-purposed them from NFS use. Factory reset them onto 6.6 firmware and they have subsequently been upgraded to 6.7.1 with no change in symptoms. The drives have no errors It's a new install, so there are no fragmentation issues etc. The NAS's use X-RAID I've set them up with 2 NIC 1GbE MPIO from the Hyper-V side (I've also tried it on 10GbE and on 1 NIC 1GbE with no impact). 9k jumbo frames are on There are no teams on the RN's Checksum is off Quota is off iSCSI Target LUN's are all thick Write caching is on (UPS's are in place) Sync writes are disabled As many services as I can find are off, there are no SMB shares No NetGear apps or cloud services No snapshots The short summary of the problem is that if I migrate a VM VHDX storage from the EqualLogic on to any of the ReadyNAS appliances, accross the same storage network and running from the same hypervisor, the data migration takes an eternity and once the move completes the write performance is uterrly, utterly crippled. Here are the ATTO stats: Same VM, on the same 1GbE network. In the case of the above over 1x 1GbE, single path, all running on the same switches. Moving the VM back to the EqualLogic storage takes a fraction of the time to move and the performance of the VM is instantly restored. According to the ATTO data above the ReadyNAS should be offering better performance than the substantially more expensive EqualLogic, however in this condition these units are next to useless. If I create an SMB share and perform a file copy of the storage network, I can get 113MB/s off of a file copy on a 1x1GbE NIC, with no problems. So it does not look like a network issue. Does anyone have any ideas? I have one of the 3220's in a state that I can do anything to. The only thing that I haven't done is try Flex-RAID instead of X-RAID, but these numbers do not look like a RAID parity calculation issue. Many thanks,
Orbi ethernet speed significantly slower than wifi
My wifi is working great. I pay for 100 mbps download and get at least that through the Orbi wifi. However, when I plug a laptop directly into the ethernet ports it's a whole different story. I get 5 to 9 mbps (90+ percent slower than wifi). I tried plugging the laptop into both the router and satellite and get the same result. I've attached two speedtest screenshots - one of them is using the wifi and the other the ethernet. Interestingly, the upload is virtually the same while the download is 15x slower over ethernet (unusable)
