Hello,
I pay for 300mbps from Cox. Connecting my laptop directly to the modem (Netgear CM1000) gave a speed test of almost exactly 300. Woohoo! When I connected my router, an old netgear WNR2000 speeds would vary between 30 and 100 mbps (typically on the higher end than lower) on all devices. Connecting to the router via ethernet (cat5.e) or over wifi resulted in no appreciable change in speed. Thinking my router is old, I bought an ASUS RT-1200. There is almost NO change in speed over the old netgear router. I even swapped in a cat6 cable from the modem to the router. I'm clearly getting the 300mbps from Cox, but somewhere after the modem I'm losing it. Brand new equipment... What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help!
