I just bought a Netgear router a month+ ago. Worked fine the first few days (got 7mbps+ download speeds), but now it is really slow.
Have contacted both my ISP (TPG) and Netgear. They haven't been very helpful.
The speed I have now is 0.5 to 3 Mbps (on ethernet). No filter is attached. When I switch the router to "Modem only" or "Bridge" mode however, speeds increase to around 17mbps.
I believe all settings are correct (ADSL2+, LLC, 8/35, PPPoE with MTU 1429.)
I have tried playing with NAT (Secured/Open doesn't make difference. Disabling it kills my internet connection).
Tried playing with disabling port scan/Dos protection, disabling SIP ALG, and even turning RIP to "Out only" and RIP1. <<RIP increased speeds to 17mbps. But after 5 minutes, that dropped back to 0.5mbps. Tried playing with MTU size. Speeds fluctuate randomly, no MTU size produces consistent 17mbps.
Running on latest firmware (v.1.00.15). Re-flashed it twice. First time, speeds increased. For a day. Then it went back to 0.5-3mbps. Second time didn't work.
Statistics look pretty good though.. Link rate at 20,000+ Downstream, 1020Kbps upstream. Line attenuation 11.0dB/6.0dB. Noise Margin 9.1dB/12.7dB. (This is australia.. 20mbps is the best we can get lol) Why am I not seeing those speeds on speedtests and gaming? What can I do to find out what is wrong?
Sorry I'm trying to learn about routers, but I really don't know alot about how they work. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks so much!
