I had Performance plan, offered upgrade to Blast for 3 months free, then $10 more. I then upgraded to Extreme 105 and scheduled install for $249 fee. I purchased new modem, router _ Zoom 5341J and Netgear r6300. My speed test are:
Hardwired into Zoom 5341J cable modem
Ping 8 ms
Download speed 158.01 Mbps
Upload speed 24.00 Mbps
Hardwired into Zoom 5341 cable modem then hardwired into Netgear r6300 Router
Ping 7 ms
Download Speed 189.73 Mbps
Upload Speed 24.16 Mbps
Wireless on 2.4 Ghz from Netgear r6300 Router
Ping 8 ms
Download Speed 23.26 Mbps
Upload Speed 19.98 Mbps
Wireless Card Ralink RT5390R 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter
Wireless on 5.0 Ghz from Netgear r6300 Router iPad
Ping 19 ms
Download Speed 41.28 Mbps
Upload Speed 19.70 Mbps
Wireless on 2.4 Ghz from Netgear r6300 Router iPad
Ping 22 ms
Download Speed 32.36 Mbps
Upload Speed 19.31 Mbps
I have multiple questions:
According to Comcast, I am still on Blast Plan, and I can't see Extreme speeds until tech comes
Is that true?
Based on the download speeds I am getting hardwired seems like I am already on Extreme 105 Plan, is that true?
If it is, I am going to cancel install and subsequent $249 charge.
Next Question, What can I do to improve my Wireless Speeds, based on everything I have found out, the Ralink Wireless Card in my laptop should be able to get 72 Mbps...
I have used the inSSIDer tool and I have only 1 other 2.4 Ghz channel on my channel and the signal is very low, link score is 98 - 100.
I should say that I have had Performance Plan for years and no issues streaming, downloads slow. I had Comcast SB6120 cable modem and Netgear WNDR4500 router.
Should I just be satisfied with what I had? How can I tune Wireless for better performance?
