Slower than I'm paying for download speeds through wired router.

wws · 04 Mar 2014

Hello.

I'm hoping you can help me. I subscribe to Comcast's Blast internet package, which advertises 50Mbps download speeds and 10Mbps upload speeds. If I plug my computer directly into my Motorola SB6121 modem, I get the advertised speeds. However, through my Belkin n300 router with a wired connection, I only recieve download speeds of about 28-30Mbps. How can I best fix this? I was getting normal speeds with my old internet package (25/5) so I doubt it's a problem with the computer. Any insight you can offer is appreciated.

Thanks.

Replace the router. The Belkin n300 doesn't rank very high on the reviews.
