There is more to this story than the title says. I've been using my Netgear WNDR4500v2 for about 2 years now and out of the blue while surfing I noticed it was slow. A speed test showed I was getting 10 or less MB down (from my usual 90). I downgraded, then upgraded the firmware. I cleared the ARP. I did a factory reset. I disabled the 5ghz channel (for fun). The issue persists on a wired connection as well as a wireless connection.
I switched to an old router I had in my closet. It works perfectly!...... except it's a POS. I go to xfinity to get a modem/router combo and lo and behold, same issue as the netgear! Upload is normal, but my download is horrible. Comcast just came to my house today and they said I'm getting a negative 1 (on their special Comcast meter) and they're going to install a closer tap. I don't feel like this is going to resolve my issue. Can anyone think of anything? Thanks!
