Hello all!
STATS:
WIFI Router: Netgear R8000 (DD-WRT)
Modem: Arris TG3482G
ISP: Xfinity (Comcast)
Internet Package: 1000mbps D / 35 U
Internet Cables: CAT 6
Speed Test Website: Speedtest.net
Laptop used for testing: MSI GE72VR
connection type: wired
Router Processor Load when running tests: 6%
DD-WRT settings: Default
- QOS: OFF
I am having trouble fixing a bandwidth issue in my home network. My laptop posts download speeds of 945 MBPS when connected directly to the modem , which is fantastic, but I would prefer to use my own router (better range, connectivity, hopefully speed, advanced settings).
unfortunately when I run a test through the router (wired) my speed is will never go above roughly 384 MBPS. I'm using the same cable, and I'm having a hard time trouble shooting.
In other posts, it seems the router is usually to blame.
- are there specific settings within DD-WRT that I may need to adjust in order to achieve a higher speed?
- Is the answer simply that this router can not handle these speeds?
- If so, is there any router than can deliver these speeds through a wired connection?
- Any other Ideas?
Thank you so much for your input and assistance.
