Internet speed help?

[Davoh]

Nic is your wireless network interface card. You should be able to find drivers online.

If your modem and/or wireless router are older I would replace them.

His speeds are consistent across multiple devices. I presume that means cell phones, tablets, and computers. That being the case, drivers aren't going to be the problem.

Check on the wifi channels thing, otherwise, check that you're not on the guest network, or have some other restrictions in play.

The settings for the router should be accessible at this URL: http://192.168.2.1

I have the same router, and I average about 38mbps over wifi, with a consistent 85-90mbps wired speed, over the normal 2.4Ghz signal.

By default, the 5ghz connection will be a different wifi id. similar to the other, but with .media, using the same password.

If you can't get better speeds after this stuff, and using inSSIDer, then you may very well just have a bad unit.

I was just think about my modem, it's at least 7 years old. Could that be my problem?

If you're getting the right speeds with ethernet, that is specified by your ISP, then it's not your modem.

what's the latest, cwd500?

One thing I do know. Most of companies will throttle you, reducing your download speed, if you go over a certain amount per period. They don't tell you this.

Also when you use most of the speed tests your testing the speed between your modem/router and your ISP. The throttling only affects what is coming to the ISP. This makes it difficult to detect.

Your speed is also affected by the number of hops, routers, that your request has to go through to get to the site your requesting.

I could get more technical if you need me to.

I would reset the modem.

I've tried it and the router

The speeds are constant between multiple phones and laptop.

I'm on a channel by myself, not on a guest network, and can't find any restrictions.

I think I'm going to go buy a new modem router combo

My internet is so slow right now that I couldn't play a baseball game on my iPhone.

Hey cwd500,

just checking to see if you was able to resolve the internet speed issue and if so, what was the solution.

I would replace the wireless router, I had the same problem a few months ago and it ended up being the router was going out. Had all the same issues you are describing, $50 router and problems solved. I was using a higher end Cisco router and ended up with a netgear, they are 4-6 year life expectancy devices.
