Hello,
I'm having an issue with my Internet at my house and I really hope someone can provide assistance.
I have Comcast 100mbps internet. When connected directly to my modem, which I bought myself, my laptops (I've tried multiple) get speeds of 120+ every single time. When I have ethernet plugged into my router (linksys ac1200 model ea6100) I get random speeds but mostly between 10mbps-20mbps. Again I have tried this on multiple laptops and my android TV. Same result for all. When using WiFi. The first few times on 5ghz I saw speeds of 60ish, but since has been constantly below 10mbps. I have even tried standing right next to it. Only my phone has ac so it was the only thing connected.
When trying the 2.4ghz, same result. Often below 10mbps. I have tried 2 phones, 3 computers, Android TV, the results are the same. I have tried just having one device connected but mostly there are 3-4 connected. The result is always crap.
Other things I've tried: my old 120n linksys router. WiFi sucks on this too. My co-worker let me borrow his dual band 600n netgear. The ethernet connection was 100mbps. Which is awesome. But the WiFi was hovering around 30.
Im at a loss of what the issue is. If the only answer is spend $250 on top of the line router I'll be pretty upset. I am thinking about buying one at Walmart and returning it if I see the same speeds.
Thanks in advance
