I have Comcast Internet, I get 50Mbps down and 10Mbps up and I get every bit of that on speedtest.net. Will this bottleneck to not allow those speeds?

This product will definitely limit your speed. I have a 50mbit comcast connection and this product limits it to 16mbs. This is very unclear from the packaging and datasheet. For a gigabit router to only support 24mbit downlink seems unacceptable.

My testing indicates that this product does limit the bandwidth available from Comcast. While I see full bandwidth when connected directly to my cable modem, when I connect the same system through the FVS318G ProSafe 8 I get limited bandwith at about 40% of direct connection. Frank

I Have Not Noticed any Change in Internet Speed Before or After the Swap From Old Netgear Firewall to New Netgear Firewall... The Main Reason for Change was Gigabit Backbone...

For a rough sense of relative performance, I tested using Comcast & speedtest.net using DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem, FVS318G (fw 3.1.1-08), gigabit ethernet. Laptop connected directly to cable modem: Down 27 Mbps / Up 5 Mbps. Laptop connected to FVS318G: Down 16 Mbps / Up 5 Mbps. For fun, following test is with Laptop connected via WiFi N to a WNDR3700v1 connected via 100 Mbs to FVS318G: Down 16 Mbps / Up 5 Mbps.

I have run speedtest.net several times since installing this Linksys AV2 Powerline system, and ping times have consistently been 10-20 ms. I don't know how this compares to a standard Ethernet connection (all my other computers are wireless). This is with a cable Internet signal rated at 20 mbps, and actual at 20-25 mbps.

I was (as of two months ago) A Comcast Tech Support rep. Will this work with Comcast? yes and no. If you already have it applied to your account, then it will continue you work. However with Blast Speed you will be limited in terms of speed using this modem. If you have Extreme 105, or you are trying to add this modem, then the Comcast System which we use to add/provision modems will NOT allow it to be added.So, when the Comcast rep tells you it can't work.. it's because Comcast made the decision to no longer support Docsis 2.0 since only two of their internet plan "play nice" with this technology.. which, from a business standpoint, makes sense.

We've got Comcast and it's worked great for us. We had their performance package and would get speeds well into the 50 range. We do not have phone though.

I have the 60 model but Internet should stream good at 5 mbps. But depends on so many things that the only way is to try. Forget what is on paper. Try and you will know. But in theory 5 mbps should be sufficient.

I'm not a pro so I will answer the question the best I can, There are differences in the wires sold today and what existed in the past have improved greatly, and certain wires are used for various applications, I would check with someone with a little more experience, My internet cable is connected with an old wire as well and I have not noticed any speed problem, Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

That's an interesting question indeed...I have a 450 connection and with the devices connected through the extender the speed does fall albeit not down to 150 but there is a downgrade none the less - however for the connectivity it provides - I don't mind suffering a little less speed once I have internet access - for devices like my laptop that needs the speed I ensure it is closest to my home router so that I utilize that speed....its all a matter of preference

Joanne I am sorry I cannot compare. I can say the one I have is not good but i have yet to determine if it is the router or my Internet speed. Sorry I can't be better assistance.

My download speeds vary but I wouldn't call them incredibly slow. There's a lot more to download/upload speeds than just the computer. While it is possible that your wireless NIC could be bad from the factory I can't really answer this question without many more details regarding the network you are connected to, and your ISP, to name a few. Even the time of day that you're testing is a factor. A busy network at prime time will d/l slower.

Although I haven't tried it myself over a "slow" connection, the manual says that a connection speed of 1Mbps is the minimum required and it is helpful to verify that you meet the requirement by visiting www.SpeedTest.net

We have obtained several of the lightning deals that sold out very quickly. Tips: Make sure your computer and browser are up to date and without excessive plug-ins or extensions. A fast internet connection with low latency and fast upload is key. Speedtest.net is a great place to check your connection. Mine was reported with 1 ms ping, 151.4 MB download speed and 168.7 MB upload speed. Gotta love the dedicated (un-shared) fiber optic to the home.I might add that we live in a fairly rural area in the rocky mountains (~30,000 population in an area the size of Connecticut)

That is complete b.s. I have been using a TM722g in the San Mateo area for over a year. I have screaming fast internet speeds via Comcast (120mbps) and no monthly equipment fees. From day one it has worked flawlessly and there have been no issues whatsoever.

I am not sure but it seems to work good and get me my 50mg download speed from Comcast. I tried a combo wireless modem / router and it didn't work well.

I am not an expert or anything but i'll tell you what I did. I made no adjustments just installed right out of the box and followed the exact instructions. I have 5ghz connections to their connections and the others regular. I have my router upstairs and on a 20mbps plan I get between 24-27 dload with 6-7 upload (speedtest.net) I did notice with either my galaxy s3 or wireless laptop (both 5ghz) I get faster speeds downstairs than in the same room as rhe router. Weird but true. My desktop gets about 26-28 wired. Make sure u don't haveany dead spots in the house that are causing slow speeds. In my house if I go from my family room to my living room like 20 feet away my speeds literally cuts in half. Dload the app for netgear (Wi-Fi analytics) and see which areas of your house give you what speeds. Like I mentioned in my review I had the asus rt-n66u dark knight and saw no improvement over this. Pretty much identical. Good luck and try the app in multiple spots of your residence.

I'm not a gamer, but when I test the Edimax with Speedtest.net I get upload and download speeds > 20mbps

First, log onto the modem and check the connection speeds indicated. If too low based on your contract with the DSL provider, contact them to do a remote line check. If bandwidth is good coming into the modem, check for a traffic issue on whatever the modem connects to. It's possible a switch is slowing things up. Often a gigabit switch to replace an older 10/100 switch will work to speed up your LAN.
