Based on that chart, you should be seeing closer to 7.not 2.Īs for splitting.if you only have 1x PC online running a speedtest.there is no additional splitting, it's only splitting the traffic if other PCs on your LAN are busy pulling down internet traffic. So even with a basic Comcast package.that router is already a bottleneck.

Scroll down those charts.you'll see it benchmarked at only 7 megs throughput. For a majority of the time, only my main computer's connection to the router is active.I've seen lots and lots and lots of speed complaints pretty much exactly like yours.when it comes to the Netgear prosafe firewalls. Of these 7 computers, at max, 3 are usually active. Right now I have 7 computers hooked up to my Netgear FVS318 Router. If it's not a setting problem in my router then unfortunately I think it's time I have to go out and spend another 150$ on a router.Īny advice / opinions / expertise you can give on my situation would be highly appreciated. Note that I tested downloading on two computers downloading at the same time and when one download speed rose, the other fell in unison. I highly doubt that it's this but for all I know it could be. These results to me mean 1 of two things:ġ) The new throughput of my recently upgraded comcast line is too high for the router to handleĢ) My router is splitting the connection to every active port. Now I would call myself highly above average in terms of computer education but unfortunately networking is not a strongpoint of mine. When I connect behind my router to I get abysmal results. When I connect directly to my modem I get HUGE results.

For a majority of the time, only my main computer's connection to the router is active. My sincerest apologies if necroing threads is highly frowned upon on these forums but I really felt that this thread contains my EXACT problem. Hi I'm a first time poster and found this great forum using google and this thread represents the exact problem I'm having so I wanted to post here.
