I just upgraded my Comcast internet, and my wired speeds vary from 58 Mbps to 70 Mbps (per speedtest.net).
I have a WRT610N router, and I'm only getting around 20-25 mbps from the wifi.
Things I have tried:
1) On channel 11, no other wifi signals in range are any higher than 6.
2) Switched between 20Mhz signal and 40Mhz signal. (Slight improvement with 40, but only about 2 mpbs)
3) Turned off CTS (Minor improvment)
4) Turned on Frame Bursting (Maybe a minor improvement, did at same time as CTS, so I'm not really sure which one caused the slight improvement).
5) Updated firmware of everything involved (router, wifi card, etc.)
From what I understand even a bad wireless-N network should be able to reach at least 75mpbs in practical speed, so what am I doing wrong here? Is it just my router? I am using DD-WRT, should I switch back to the standard Linksys firmware?
Any other suggestions? I've done 2 days worth of googling to try and find a solution to my problem, and still haven't figured it out.
1) Switched back to Linksys firmware (speeds went up to 30 Mbps)
2) When I try to use the 5GHz, my wifi doesn't even show up. (Trying to fix that now).
Thanks for the responses.
