Using firmware 1.0.4.102_10.0.74
I have a 1gbps internet connection. When i run a speed test I'll usually get around 500-600mbps down and 800mbps up. However, other then the speeds i get from speedtest.net, everything else seems to max out at around 300mbps down. I don't think i've ever downloaded anything from anywhere faster than that. Same for my uploads.
The way my home network is setup is I have a router from the ISP that's connected to the fiber modem. I then have my netgear router plugged into their router, and everything else is plugged into my router, or connects wirelessly to my router. I did it this way just because I'm a bit of a control freak.
Anyhow, tonight I was downloading a game update and it was coming down at around 250-300mbps. I decided to check some router settings to see if there was anything that might be slowing it down. MTU's are set to 1500 and I did a ping test and the max size was 1472. so 1500 should be correct. I tried lowering it to 1472 anyhow to test it and it had no effect. I also do not have quality of service turned on. I couldn't see any settings that would be limiting my speeds.
I then tried plugging my PC directly into the ISP's router, bypassing my router. I'm now getting downloads around 800-950mbps. Seems to be averaging around 850. Thats a huge increase. I even tried plugging my PC into the same port my router was plugged into just incase the router had a bad port. Also tried changing the patch cable from cat5 to cat7. There's maybe a 50mbps speed boost doing that, or could just be random network spikes. I also tried unplugging everything else from my router and turning off the both wifi networks on the router. No effect.
I can't think of any other settings to check or anything else I can do to rule out the router just not handling 1gb speeds. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this working?
