Connection Speed Is Poor Over Direct Router Paths
Connection Speed Is Poor Over Direct Router Paths
Your internet performance appears inconsistent depending on the connection method. When using your PC directly to the router, speeds drop significantly, while Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections work well. The Belkin N600 seems adequate for basic tasks but may not handle higher demands. Consider checking for network congestion, firmware updates, or interference that could affect direct connections. If speed remains low, explore optimizing settings or upgrading your hardware.
The issue seems to stem from differences in network conditions between your PC and your phone. When using Wi-Fi, your PC might experience fluctuating speeds due to interference, distance from the router, or bandwidth limitations. Your phone, possibly closer to a stronger signal or with better hardware, could maintain stable performance. This inconsistency can cause the drop in download/upload speeds you're observing.
You might want to reset your router back to its original settings (make sure to save your configuration beforehand) and check for any firmware updates. If that fails, because the device is outdated, it could be faulty—otherwise, replacing it would be the only option.
