are you measuring speeds off the the netgear router
what happens if you unplug that router & check speeds with cox modem/router(if that's the one you have)?
fwiw: i have the pano combo modem router & see 300+ wired on pc + 300+ on several cell phones on wi-fi thru out the one floor 3br house.
I'm measuring speeds off my android box that is hardwired into my router, It was showing speeds over 300 last month now it's not. I unplugged it and ran the android box thru the wifi and got the same results. I only have the Linksys modem .
Once you get above about 150 mbps the service gets really picky about line quality. It is best to get a test machine and check directly after the modem. It is a PITA, but sometimes QoS (quality of service) in the router can slow you down and if your vendor changed something, you wouldn't know about it.
Once you have confirmed that it isn't the router, reduce the number of interconnects. If you can hook it up by the outside cable box and it is still slow that is your only hope of fixing it. Otherwise they will just blame the wiring in your home...
- @Hoots, have you performed a speed test hard-wired directly to the Linksys modem? By bypassing the router and android device, this may help to narrow down what might be causing the slow speeds. Here's some additional information:
