75 MB service and Actiontec router is not capable of transmitting more than 23 MB

Numerous Calls and searcing on internet and Verizon is blaming interference even though I have no interference. Actiontec Router is a peice of junk and thats why they included one for free. My Old Belkin Router went to 40 MB download and worked better. Now I will complain one more time as this is fraud giving a router that can never deliver my 75 MB Service!!!!!

what revision actiontec do you have? Look on the sticker and let us know.

If it's dual antenna and red band then it can do faster than that with wireless. And EVERYONE has interference. It's the name of the game with wireless. BUT we can tell if the router is even capable if you let us know what revision.

When they 'sell' you 75mb, they don't say wireless. Check with an ethernet connection.

This. If you want fully Wireless (aka, something 20Mbps or less that will run bad), go to Verizon Wireless 🙂 . Fiber connections are high performance connections intended for Wired usage with Wireless as a compliment for devices without Wired capabilities and/or for convenience. The ActionTec routers Verizon gives *ARE* fully capable of doing 75Mbps. The same manufacturer that makes the routers Verizon has also make the routers used in Google's 1Gbps Fiber project. You don't see Google Fiber users complaining about not getting1Gbps on Wireless 🙂

Case in point: Hook up your own router as an access point if you'd like to see faster performance. Verizon gave you the connection in a wired form to do so and if they're not delivering it there then you have a reason to raise a stick with them.
