    RT-N66U not able to get full speeds

    It was suggested to look at the driver properties under Advanced>Speed & Duplex. As you can see from the screenshot, it is set to "Auto-Negotiate" but all of the options are 100 or below. Could this be ab issue?

    RT-N66U not able to get full speeds

    OK, I got the Telnet window open but (and I am guessing here), when I type "o 192.168.1.1" it won't connect and I do not know what I need to do to get the info you would like. Send me some commands, please

    RT-N66U not able to get full speeds

    I'll get the router. I'd like to think it was as easy as getting a new card but the laptop had the same problems and it doesn't use the killer e2200. But maybe it is it! I'll check the router first and then the card comes next.

    RT-N66U not able to get full speeds

    Looking at Amazon, the RT-AC56U is about 2 years old. Is this the one to get (if it works, I may be able to keep it). Is there a newer model I should be looking at or is this good enough?

    RT-N66U not able to get full speeds

    1) Replace both the Ethernet cable between modem and router and the one between router and computer -Done 2) Turn off your modem for at least 10 minutes, then turn it back on (this is important when moving a modem back and forth between a router and a PC - the ISP needs to fully "reset" the...

    RT-N66U not able to get full speeds

    It is a REALLY old laptop but I found it and plugged it in and it got the same results (it was the only thing plugged in). I do not have a switch. Any more ideas? I am about to give up; there is no way I can convince my wife to buy another router, this one was pricey enough.

    RT-N66U not able to get full speeds

    I switched the cable from the router to the PC from a Cat-5e to a Cat 6 and these are my results, which are about what I have been getting with the other cable (I get 90-100/9-10)

    RT-N66U not able to get full speeds

    Well, now I am at least getting somewhere. I just downloaded the Speedtest app for my iPad and ran it and, lo and behold, on my wireless I am getting 178/12! I hadn't checked it before because I assumed if my wired connection wouldn't get it the wireless would be worse. So now I am going to try...

    RT-N66U not able to get full speeds

    OK, I have reset the modem to factory settings, installed the latest Merlin firmware (378.56_2) and I am still getting 98 down and 9 up when if I connect directly to the modem I get 148 down and 19 up (which is what Comcast has told me I should now be getting). QoS is not turned on. When I run...

    Thanks for the info. I had checked for firmware update through the router and it had updated it to what it said was the latest. This was 3 days ago, not in February. I will try the reset, this download and then Merlin's latest. thanks again.

    RT-N66U not able to get full speeds

    Latest Asus firmware' means little. What version is it? 3.0.0.4.376_3861 'But to the router I still get only the old speed' is also ambiguous. Is this wired or wireless? Wired. BTW, the old speed is the same one (100/10) I had before the speed was increased by my ISP to 150/20. What...
