Cloning the MAC address didn't do anything useful either.ģ) I've noticed some correlation with time of day. I'm having pretty much the same problems as described throughout the thread with some minor variations.ġ) I'm running a Linksys WRT54G v8 with their latest firmware upgrade.Ģ) I have disabled the router firewall - didn't help much.

I really would prefer to not spend $70 on a router and spend it on fun instead. I have another WRT54G and had the exact same results. I thought G can do 54mbs? Is the processor just too slow on the router? Does it need a gigabit connection? Why does it suck? Im considering getting a gigabit N router but I dont understand why I would need to. When connected to the router single user via cat5 I get a max of 17mbs, and when connected with one computer via Wireless-G It goes no higher than 10mbs (even lower when on the other side of the house). I get 22mbs when connected to my DOCSIS 3 SB6120 according to - The modem link light also turns blue to indicate gigabit connection. Have not tried the MAC address clone but I have a similar setup using DDwrt v23 sp2 on WRT54G ver 1.0 Same problem here, Ive been looking for a solution for a week. I have spent over 10 hours trying to solve this problem. Here are just a few of threads I have checked out Immediately upon switching to the router (BOTH The Netgear and Linksys) my speed is significantly slower. Put distance between equipment (Electrical Noise)ĪLSO: When I have the MAC address of my router cloned to my PC I can switch the ethernet cord between the modem and my PC and still remain online without having to restart the modem or router. Cloned MAC address of my PCs (the alternate MAC is supposed to register the modem on the network differently and possibly route the traffic differently) Installed DD-WRT firmware on Linksys WRT54g2 Replaced Netgear WRG614 v9 with Linksys WRT54g2 I have five PCs on my network which reproduce this problem (3 wireless and 2 wired.) Comcast sent out a technician who checked my line and replaced my modem.

Directly connected to my cable modem = 10-15mbps & 60ms ping Using my Netgear WRG614 v9 wireless router = 250-900kbp & 600ms ping Resetting router and modem solves the problem temporarily (about 2-10min) When connected through my router my service is VERY slow.
