I have a router which shares the connection in my house between different computers. I dont need a modem; I can also plug in a pc directly to ethernet cable in my house to gain internet access.
I noticed my connection is almost 10 times faster when I connect my PC directly without the router. How can I achieve similar speed while still sharing the connection between different devices (wired and wlan) ?
Internet speed in both cases (with router and without) was determined both by www.speedtest.net and further verified by personal experience in online games, video sites and so on.
Things I have tried, but the issue of slow speed stays exactly the same:
- I made sure only 1 device was connected to the router
- Tried two routers - router models used: netgear wnr2200, d-link dir-615
- Tried to change ethernet cables
- Tried to change router settings (disabling NAT, UPnP, DHCP server)
- Tried to update router firmware
- Tried to reset routers to factory settings
- Tried restarting routers (obviously)
- Tried to google and look for help, but I guess I lack the knowledge to apply the
information for my specific case so help would be appreciated!
