Connecting Cisco DPC3925 to DLink DIR-600L

[jamboree]

I just managed to change my Cisco DPC3925 to Bridge only, and then connect it to my own DLink wireless router.

My BB plan is 100mbps and I managed to get that download speed when connected directly via Lan cable to the Cisco router. However, after I connected it to the DLink router, the download speed dropped my half, even after I set the DLink router to broadcast at 802.11n only at a fixed channel, and my laptop is right beside the DLink router.

Does connecting to a Wireless Router drop transmission speeds by half?

Enable HT mode 40HZ Wireless N otherwise will definitely be lower than 100 Mbits/s

i'll try that. thanks !!

I changed to 20/40hz (auto) option. Also had to Disable the "20/40hz Coexist" as it was giving me connection issues. Speed now max out around 60mbps.

Found out that my router can only output at 2.4ghz; is that a reason why I cannot get higher download speeds via Wifi?

Your 600L is a low end N150 router, only supports 2.4Ghz and 150mbps max link speed. Real world wifi speed if you do a speedtest would be half of that, so around 60-75mbps is right.

You also need the router to use 40Mhz, if your area has many other wireless networks, it might auto drop to 20Mhz to reduce interference, so your speed will also suffer further.

The reason you cannot get higher speed is because your Router is single stream, 150N to get at least 100Mbps you need 300N.
Your client also needs to be 300N capable.

Do you mind tell me the steps to make ur D-Link as your wifi router instead of the Cisco router. I tried but failed. Thank you.
