Helooo

Ill cut straight to it, i have 2 routers, one old (Belkin Wirless G router) and one newish (2years old Blekin wireless N router)

As of late my new one has been failing to get past the ADSL part so i swapped it out with my old which worked fine

Upon using the internet with my old router i found i was getting a better download speed entirely across the board, 650-700KB/s on everything i downloaded!

When my old one stopped working again (overheats) i popped my newish one back which started working again but only had a max download speed of 350-400KB/s

Is there a obvious reason as to why my newer router is having issues getting a faster download speed?

Is it worth wiping my new one and starting from scrap etc

Any input is appreciated

Many thanks

John
 
Some modems are better at syncing with the exchange and as a consequence are able to maintain a better connection speed.

This.

Different software, different chipsets.

Some chipsets work better with certain line lengths/line stats/exchanges.
Some software will train the line much closer to the mark stability wise.

Ahh okay, that explains a lot

are you testing these speeds over wireless or wired?

to compare fairly I would definitely only use wired.

Both wireless and wired connections were giving me the same readings
