I should be getting 50mbps. but I'm getting half that, 25. why?
I'm 50 feet from the wireless router.
channel is set to automatic. should I trying changing to a specific channel? a few times download speed has been over 50mbps... but it seems to be much lower most of the time. upload speeds are fine. download is mostly 1/2 of the 50mbps they say I should be getting.
any ideas appreciated. thanks.
Because you're using wireless and probably wireless G at that.
Connect it via an ethernet cable and if you still only get 25 then ask Verizon - they only guarantee wired speeds, for wireless it's your problem unless the wireless side completely fails.
