There was a thread with this guy having problems I am having the EXACT problems.... please help.
You say its ben happening or almost 2 months on here, but your reply on the other thread says 6. Which is it?
Have you tried changing channels on your router then tried the speed tests again?
Download a program called inSSIDer http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/
It's free and lets you see channel congestion in your area. You can test all channels and see what is best for you.
This is what I would start with.
Also, I assume you have the rev. i router? Is it set to compatibility mode or performance? It needs to be in performance mode for best results, but if you have any devices that require g band they wont work after choosing performance mode.
i copy and pasted forgot to change that ๐ sorry for that. anyways yes about 6monthas with his problem now and am driving thin on patience, i will see what this does as far as congestion who knows. trying it now.

Where did the OP saying anything about wifi? I think someone got a new toy! Lol.
99% of the people who post internet issues on here are on wireless.
A new toy? Yea a simple helpful program to fix peoples issues thats been around for awhile.
A few facts:
The other poster with the same issue that you referenced, it had nothing to do with wifi.
Inssider is a nice tool, mainly for checking for channel contention. I have used it for some time, when it makes sense.
Most importantly, even if the OP is doing this over wifi. Troubleshooting 101 for a speed issue is to confirm the issue exists when wired. It is not rocket science, eliminate variables!
Please keep your posts courteous. Thanks.
