Why is my wndr3400 netgear router reducing my internet speed?

A reset helps some time. If it is used allot. But, you should first check the internet speed without the router. It may be that they change your speed. The site I use is http://speedtest.net/. After you determined that the internet is not at fault. Log into the router at 192.168.1.1 in your browser. At the Wireless settings (advance) there should be a setting for wireless speed. Note that the higher speeds are only for G and N band settings. But you should have a schedule downtime for the wireless net.

That is typical.

Try reducing the TXqueue length. Try a number like 200.

Sounds like your router is connected to the modem, but the modem is not connected to your ISP. Is this a new connection or a sudden problem? Unplug power to modem and router. Plug in modem first, then router. Do you need password for ISP? If connected, recommend downloading Netgear Genie for your WNDR3400.

my wireless router does its a netgear 71

hi

chek your speed with a comercial site that chek your speed
if the speed is fix and slow - the problem can be with the providers limits

if the speed change all the time it can be an common user area - you are sharing the internet speed with other people

According to the owner manual, a blinking green power light on the WNDR3400 indicates corrupt firmware. You can supposedly use the restore CD that came with the router to attempt a firmware recovery.

I pulled the following from the owner manual regarding firmware recovery, which you can find online at ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/WNDR3400_SM_23MAR2010.pdf. Page 35 has this procedure

1. Make sure that your PC is connected to your router and the router is powered on.

2. Insert the Resource CD that came with your router into your PC. The CD automatically starts and detects the language you are using on your PC. Select a different language option, if you prefer. If the CD does not automatically start, browse the CD and double-click on .

3. Click Supporting Software, then Netgear Firmware Recovery Utility, and follow the prompts for the recovery process.

4. After firmware recovery is complete, follow the prompts to restore your configuration

the router may not be designed for that regian you may need to purchase a new router

Well, I know this may be solved by now (Hope so anyway, right???) but YES IT DOES !! I just set up our new WNDR3400 this evening and my son has 240 Mbps through a Netgear WN111 out in the garage (approx. 75 ft. away...)

go to Netgear Support Home Page.

If you need more help come back.
