I apologize if this is the wrong forum but I wasn't sure where to ask this question.
I have a very typical small home network. I am using a Linksys WRT54GL V1.1 for my wireless router. My main PC is connected to that router by wire. I have Comcast as my Internet provider and they have been upping my speed over the years. I recently received their latest modem as a free upgrade. I did a speed test using Speedtest.net on my PC directly wired to the new modem. No router. I was averaging about 75 Mbps. The new modem was about 3 times faster than my old one.
So, I connected my PC to the router and performed the same test. But, I was only getting about 20 Mbps. Roughly the same as I was getting with the wireless connection.
So, my question is what wired speeds should I be expecting through a wireless router? I just assumed that port was a pass through but obviously something in the router is slowing the wired speed down. Would a newer router help in regards to the wired speeds?
Thanks for any help!
