Router is slowing my Internet connection down 60%

AndreiMesaros · Oct 10, 2015

I have a Belkin F6D4230-4 v1000 router and I am connected to it via a wired connection.My normal speed without passing trough the router is 100 mb/s and when I am connected to the router is about 30 mb/s no one is connected to the router except me. I've began experiencing this slowdown of my speed about 2 weeks ago before then i had full speed of 100 mb/s.I've called my ISP and they put me to do a speed test without being connected to the router that showed about 100 and a speed test connected to the router that showed about 30 so its a router fault.Please help idk what to do. Sorry for my bad English I'm not a native speaker

Edit:I would also like to mention that the upload speed is bigger than my download speed dl:3 Mb up:5-6 Mb

Your router is not gigabit capable. You can NOT get 100Mbit throughput without a gigabit compatible router. The best you could do is 80Mbit, but it is quite possible that the Belkin does not have sufficient CPU to get that much throughput.

You need a new router. The AC1900 routers are the sweet spot in pricing right now.

I dont have gigabit internet my speed is of 10 Mb/s not 1 Gbps and the router is slowing it down to 3 Mb/s

Your first post said 100Mbs .... That is why I focused on gigabit.... Do you have 100Mbs or 10Mbs WAN speed?

These are my results with and without being connected to the router

100Mbit. To achieve that throughput, you need a router with gigabit network ports. Your router doesn't have those and is probably limited by CPU power. My original post is accurate. To get 100Mbit through your router you need a new one.

Yeah but 2 weeks ago I had this speed being connected to the router. It started slowing me down before that i had the same of 100 speed with or without being connected to the router. It worked before Idk what is wrong with it now

Man that router is cheap junk, that's great that it was fast but things don't last forever. Just get a new router.

Also gigabit is 1000Mbps, your router is 10/100Mbps. Theoretically it should give you your 100Mbps bit of course in reality it won't. Gigabit routers are cheap, better to over spec then be at the bare minimum.

Guess ill need to replace it. I lasted 6 or 7 but i guess it is his time to go.
