I can't connect the PC directly to the modem because I don't have one.
don't have one what? do you mean you have a modem/router combo that is wireless only with no lan port? you mentioned the desktop is connected via hardwire to the netgear combo... if you plug the laptop in its place, what speeds to you get?
are we talking dsl here, or fios?
DSL. I don't have a stand alone Modem. All I have is a Netgear combo Modem/Router. When I had my DSL installed I told the installer I didn't want a separate modem since I already had a new combo Modem/Router.
I want to rule out the Netgear combo modem/router as being the problem but have to wait until I have a separate modem. My DSL provider is sending me one.
The PC's connection status page shows a connection speed of 100 Mbps ??? How can this be since my speed test shows 9.81 Mbps down which should be real good? and close to what I am paying for. But why the 100 Mbps ??? beats me....
This is an area that I am not experienced in. Mega -bit (Mb) and Mega-byte (MB) are different. I don't remember if I am paying for 10 mega bits or 10 mega bytes? I hope it don't add up to be a salami sandwich
I am not sure if the router has any performance settings that I can make?
The latest speed test shows 9.81 Mbps down and 0.75 Mbps up. This should be real good I would think but the PC is loading pages kinda slow and is choppy as compared to when I had 1.75 & 3.0 service. Now this test was from New Jersey to Atlanta
