problems with getting 20 mb speed
 

Hi there thanks for reading this post.

First of this post is NOT about using wireless.

I just upgraded my internet connection to 20Mb (20 megabit) from 10 Mb

However im only getting 10 Mb connection to the net when I use a lan ethernet port on my router (netgear wg615v).

If I connect directly to the net without the router I get 20mb.

I have checked and I am getting a 100mb lan connection to the router and other pcs on the lan ports

I cant new firmware for this router since its no longer supported.

I might get a new router but how do I know they wont have some weird limit?

Anyone here with any ideas?

The routers WAN port is only 10Mbps by the sound of it. You'll need a new router with a 100Mbps WAN port to take advantage of the speeds.

thanks for the reply, but how do I know if it has a 100 mbps wan port?
Adverts dont include info like that

Most new routers do, but to be sure, I know that Linksys routers have a 100Mbps port.
