Hi there
My friend has a problem and I have tried to research the answer but can not solve the problem. Basically several speed tests report he gets between 12 and 13 Mbps but logging into the router always reports only 2 Mbps? Any ideas?
Thanks so much.

The speed tests are incorrect, sometimes firewalls cause problems with speed testers. Can you post your friends full router statistics.That gum you like is coming back in style.0

Your modem download speed stats are 21012kbps = 21 Mbps
This is the synch speed - data downloading speeds are less due to data transmission overheads.0 -

21Mbps sync, very fast, and me and my 7 Mbps have gone right off your mate.;)
PS If you scroll down to the bottom of that router page and click on show statistics you can get info on the line attenuation and noise margin.
