slow router problem

Fanng · Aug 9, 2016

Hello,

if i connect computer direct to modern, i can get almost 300MB but if i put my router in between I only can get 60-80MB, but the router spec. said the speed is up to 297MB, so my question is that is this 297MB divide into 4 ports? so each port only get a quarter of that. and is there a way to fix it, i want to buy a newer router but many of them only upto 300MB. any suggestion what should i do?

thanks

First I believe your are getting Mb (little "b") bits rather than MB (big "b") bytes. You probably have a router with 100Mbit wired ports. Don't believe router specs. They exaggerate every way legally possible. What brand and model is your router ?

yes, kanewolf you are correct it is 300Mbit, the current router i am using is Netgear WNR834B v2, and another router i have is linksys WRT54G, i connect them in serial. both of them are old router, if they are only 100 Mbit per ports, is there any router 300 Mbit per port?

thanks

The next step above 100Mbit is 1000Mbit (gigabit). The WNR834B is 100Mbit wired only and the WRT54G is also 100Mbit.
You need a router with LAN and WAN ports that are gigabit.

thanks, i think i will hold off since gigabit router cost about $200, i will upgrade when i really need them, but thank for the help

You can get gigabit for a lot less than that -- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320062 == $60 after rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320094 == $40 for the refurb

I use the N56U as access points in my network. They are great routers. Here is a review -- http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/31436-asus-rt-n56u-black-diamond-dual-band-gigabit-wireless-n-router-reviewed
