Recommend a router that actually gives 20mb
Hi,
I have a router and 20mb connection now even if I have excellant wifi signal and 54Mbps the router only seems to put a limit on it and only allow me 7mb connection. If I cable it I get the full 20mb.
Could you recommend a good router for a 20mb connection.

Re: Recommend a router that actually gives 20mb
What do you mean put a cable on it? do you mean you can only get 7mb when downloading via wifi? but if you connect direct via a cable you get 20mb? if so then surely it's going to be you connected device and the signal slowing you down not the rounter

Cabling it as in connecting to it via an ethernet cable to one of its ports. I get 7mb downloading via wifi but 20mb when i cable it. I only have one machine on when I get 7mb and 20mb.
I know I discussed this in the past. Let me dig up the thread.
you wont get any better over wifi, 54mbps is a load of rubbish, you get the most of 11meg lan throughput on a 54meg connection, wired is the only way to go if you want real speed, or look at .11n the new stuff is about 50meg lan throughput.
