For some reason I'm getting lower download speeds with this router. Is there any way I could diagnose the problem? Also, need help with configuration.

So your running 2 routers? using the 2nd as an extender? Have tried connecting direct to a computer and checked the speed?

I used to have Cisco WRT54G router to work with this repeater. I noticed that the entire wireless network slowed down to under 10Mbps, while the cable service rate is 50Mbps. Recently I switched to Netgear AC router, and found that only those devices connected to this repeater got downgraded in data rate while others connected to the main AC router remained at 50Mbps.

Could be a bandwidth problem. If N router is also adjustable to B or G, it may be in the B setting. Another thing to check is if you are getting a direct line of site signal or are you getting a bounced signal. With a bounced signal, the signal strength can show good, but data transfer will be pretty slow.Good Luck!!!

None. The reason I purchased this router is my old router downloaded at less than 20 Mbps to my MacBook Pro. I purchased this router and a TRENDnet TEW-804-UB IEEE 802.11ac USB Wi-Fi Adapter. Now downloads to my MacBook Pro is 57Mbps.

I have Linksys G router and I needed two, but they really didnt seem to help much, another better router would help more, or put an update of tomato or some other firmware that allows you to boost power.

This router does not have qos as far as I am aware. I am currently using the router and getting a fair amount of buffer bloat. I looked for any qos information for it and was unable to find any.

I have an earlier model of this kind of netgear router and the issue could also be the mode its broadcasting in. I have a 50mbps(which i get went physically hooked in) plan and my wireless was capping out at 15(depending on the mode i could get up to 30), so when i checked there were modes of broadcasting to how fast it would transmit.

My computer, the Aspire R7-571, does have the wifi issue. I wrote about it in my review. I still use a single band 2.4ghz router. When close to the router, I get about half speed. Instead, I use a wireless adapter in one of my USB ports and works great. I get full speeds that way.

No - it is running at or near the speed provided by our ISP. Nominally we pay for 60 Mbps but a speed test of the computer using this adapter currently is showing 65 Mbps. The router is at the opposite end of the house through several walls but I've had no dropouts or other problems between the Medialink and the Netgear router. The only time it's been down is when the cable modem went down for a few minutes after a lightening strike.

You might want to contact your internet provider or check your connections! Honestly, I don't have any problems like that! Actually, my surfing is faster! I have att DSL modem and with this router, it makes surfing faster! I can't understand why you are having problems, though! Sorry! Check that out and see what happens, but I am not having any problems on my end! Maybe it might be with the ipad, get it contact with Apple and find out!

Hey Marjorie. Upgrading the router's firmware could help. http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=10797 You can reach us at BelkinCares@belkin.com for assistance.

I notice my internet speeds lower if I use the cm but it's still pretty fast. Try rebooting both of them. Unplug plug back in etc

If your other devices are getting faster WAN speeds (e.g. to speedtest.net), it's likely your device, not the router. Your device's WiFi card may only support 802.11g, which would result in a practical maximum of ~25Mb/s.

OK, I will post a more detailed explanation when I have more time, but I have found through trial and error that the device will find the network much faster when your router is NOT broadcasting SSID. I have no idea why, or if it will even help in your case, but it may be worth a try.

Worked fine for me. What kind of internet connection do you have? And speed?
