I had an old ActionTec router, and 35/35 plan. Was getting 35mbps download speed on this computer. Now, with the 75/35 plan and a brand new MI424WR GigE, and the router location and this computer in the exact same spots, I'm getting slower speeds. If everything is in the same spots, and is dealing with the same amount of interference, then how could a better plan and router (the only 2 variables that have changed) result in slower speeds? It just seems...illogical.
The wireless adapter I'm using is a Netgear N900, rated at 450mbps. It was getting 35mbps with the old router/plan, 25mbps now. And everything else is the same. Also have full reception on this computer, as well as on the laptop, which is 2 floors away in the basement.
I could see if this was the first time everything was set up. But the only 2 things that changed from the previous setup were upgrades. Is it possible that a router that's years newer would have a harder time going through walls?
