I signed up for Comcast internet and had them install service with a comcast modem/router. Although I'm only paying for 50 mbps, I would get as high as 90 thru wifi.
I decided to get my own modem/router to save myself the rental fee. I got a netgear 300, which is supposed to handle over 300 mbps. Unfortunately, it gives me less than 10 mbps with wifi. I plugged my laptop directly into the modem and was able to get 90 again. I know wifi won't be as fast as a direct connection, but why am I getting less than 10, when I had 90 with Comcast modem..when my new modem should handle 300? I changed channels on the wifi, which helped a little, but what else can I do?
