WNDR4300 Wireless Speed issues
I get better than 100Mbps wired directly to the router via ethernet cable. But wireless is under 20Mbps. I am direct line of site to the router, about 30 feet away. Running Win 10. No my laptop (HP Envy) is NOT able to use 5G, so does 5G really make that much of a difference? I also tried changing channels, but i didnt feel iike buying the channel analyzer app. I live in a condo with neighbors and several other wifi networks in range. Just to make sure the problem is not my heavy usage of the router I powered off all of my other devices (ipad, cell phone, music apeaker), still getting under 20Mbps. I cant upgrade the network adaptor on my laptop, so Im stuck with 2.4G. Ipad does successfully get the 5G connection, so i know the 5g works on this router, just not with my laptop. Incidentally the ipad gets 42Mbps via 5G, double what the laptop gets via 2.4G, but still less than half of what the connection is. Any ideas??SolvedN300 WNR2000v2 Wireless Router slow download speed
Hey, I have Time Warner Cable as my internet service provider. I used to pay for 50 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload speeds. I used to get those speeds when connected to my Netgear router through wifi fine. Two days ago Time Warner Cable updated our internet to 200 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload speed. When connected from laptop to modem given by Time Warner, the speeds are fine. However, when connected to my Netgear router through wifi, I am now only getting around 30 Mbps download but the upload has gone up to around 20 Mbps. So basically Time Warner upgraded my internet but Netgear has dropped my download speed and raised my upload speed. Some of my router settings: Channel - Auto Mode - 300 Mbps Security is on AES option. My default router MTU was 1492. I tried changing that to numerous options such as 1400, 1440, 1460, ect. but speeds remained the same. I put it back to 1492. I have tried disabling WMM,changing DNS, as well as changing channels. No change in speeds. Please help with this. Thanks.Solved
