Using the old cable didn't solve anything unfortunately.
I called Netgear support and they said I had to pay for 3 months of phone support in order to go through the troubleshooting steps and only if those did not work would they send me a replacement device. I told them I refused to pay money...
The new router came with a Cat 6 cable for modem to router. I will try the old Cat 5 cable I was using with the old router and see if anything changes.
With the issue you are talking about wouldn't my speedtest results be throttled as well? That is what I am having trouble understanding. Why is...
Downloading a windows iso image via google chrome showed a download speed that ranged from 22 MB/s to 31 MB/s (it bounced around a lot).
All I changed when I set the router up was the SSID. Parental controls are all disabled and I cannot find anything that directly says "Firewall," but no...
I am hardwired with a Cat 6 cable.
Correct, speedtest.net test results are normal and match what I get when directly wired into the modem, so no throttling there.
If ports had to be configured, wouldn't I not be able to download at all?
My brand new router seems to be throttling my download speeds on steam and battle.net. I plugged directly into my modem and get 50 MB/s on steam, whereas through my router I get at most 18 MB/s. My old netgear router also gave me the full 50 MB/s.
I have:
-updated router firmware
-reset router...
My computer also fails to fully shutdown at points. Monitors turn off along with my keyboard and mouse lights, but my PC stays running forever unless I tap the power button. Code my motherboard gives me during this state was "04" if I remember correctly. Also using this comment as a 'bump'. :)
Everything runs absolutely fine after restarting the computer after the post issue. I have no FPS problems in games, all programs load and run correctly, etc.
As the title says, my PC is failing to post, but only sometimes. There are no beeps, so I shutdown the PC and start it again, and it then posts and boots as normal. Any ideas as to what the problem could be? Thanks in advance. :)
