Hi everybody,
I recently got the quantom router to replace the actiontec rev I router as the primary, and I have it downstairs hooked into coax. I get the full advertised speed of 75/75 (sometimes more) over wifi and ethernet. I reserved 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.10 as static IP addresses and started the range from 10-100 on the primary. It is said to broadcast on channel 11 with B/G/N signal.
I took the old actiontec revI GigE router, disabled DHCP and assigned it static IP 192.168.1.2 and hooked it into the coax in my room. Now, I get full advertised speeds on the ethernet jack in this router, but wifi performance is absolutely garbage, and I have no idea why. I have it set to broadcast on channel 6 with B/G/N signal. Changing to N only has absolutely no performance advantages over compatability. Why does wifi speed suck so hard on this second router, when ethernet speeds are perfectly fine?
