So I have an odd problem.
If I do a download speed test, more often than not I'm getting a tenth of a 1mbps (so .25 mbps for example). This is the speed I get on speedtest.net, speakeasy.net, and speedtest.comcast.net 90%+ of the time.
The speedtest hosted by my ISP (http://www.timewarnercable.com/en/re...peed-test.html) runs fine and as expected.
It gets weirder: all downloads and website loads, video streaming, etc all run fine and at the expected speed.
I think this problem also weirdly effects some online poker sites I play on. Sometimes I experience freezing while playing, and I'm 100% sure the problem is on my end and I'm pretty sure the problem started right after I got a new router and modem.
So what could be problem here? Some kind of router/modem setting that I need to change? Please help, I'm a pro poker player and these freezes are costing me money
Here are the stats:
I just freshly installed windows 7 today and it still happens so we can eliminate my computer as the issue.
New and high quality router + modem, models are: Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band Wireless Gigabit Router + Motorola SURFboard Cable Modem
ISP is TWC and speed is Ultimate at up to 50 Mbps. ( I get around that on the twc speed test as I noted above)
The problem occurs with WIFI as well as wired connections.
Thanks for any help, I'll be checking this post a lot and will reply quickly!
EDIT: So I just connected directly to the modem and got fast speed test results on ALL sites. This means the problem is the wireless router. This is a new $200 router. What should I do to test and fix the problem?
