I am having a problem with slow LAN speeds on my FLINT 2. I have tried all 3 firmware a available. I have the same issue with all three. I do not know if I am missing something in the setting or what? However, I have Xfinity Gigabit Extra. I pay for 1.2g/40mbps. When I connect my PC directly to my Netgear CM2050V with my PC with 2.5g NIC I am getting 1.2g to 1.4g download speed on speed test.net. However, when I connect the Flint 2 no matter what port I use including the 2.5g port. I can only get download speeds of about 600mbps max. On 5ghz wifi within 10ft of the Flint 2 I can get about 900to950mbps.
I cannot figure out for the life of me why speeds coming out of the LAN ports on the Flint 2 are not faster for me? I do not have any type of crazy setup. I factory reset the Flint 2. Flash a firmware. Then, factory reset it again. After this the only thing I change is the name of my wifi and the wifi password. That is it. Is there any settings that could possibly be causing this issue? I have went through all the settings. Nothing is jumping out at me. About a week ago I sent back the XB8 in favor of my current setup. Which as I said is a Netgear CM2050V. With the XB8 I was getting 1.4g/40mbps pretty consistently. I just got tired of spending almost $20 a month extra for it.
