Hi,

I have a Netgear FVS318v3 router and have been very happy with it since purchasing over a year ago.

I recently upgraded my contract with Virgin to 10Mb/s. I ran several speedtest at speedtest.net and found my download speed to be constantly around the 5Mb/s mark.

I removed the router from the system (eg plugged the cable modem directly to the PC) and ran the test several times again, I had around the 9.5Mb/s mark.

The router specs claims the LAN-WAN throughput is 12.5Mb/s. I'm a bit lost over what the problem is, I've upgraded the firmware to the latest version but still no joy.

Has anyone got a suggestion?
