Your modem is gig enabled and so is the wan port of the router.

I set my routers wan port to gig only. Light should show that on the modem.

I had Comcast "blast" and they were not really able to deliver it. I live near downtown so they really don't have an excuse.

They just couldn't do it.

 

I know it is supposed to be gig on the WAN. And the router routs between the other ports at gig speeds. Plus the Comcast throughput is legitimately present as can be seen with a direct pc connection to the modem... I am seeing 250/13 that way. The router just won't rout more than 20/3 through the WAN to the switch. I have just updated the firmware and no difference. Also working with the guys on dd-wrt to troubleshoot.

 

Got it figured out. It seems my downstream and upstream QoS settings (not sure exactly what those numbers mean and not sure how they got set to those values) were eerily similar to the max throughputs I was seeing. I changed those to be a bit above the advertised rate and voila. Not quite getting the full 200 Mbps downstream but seeing like 150 down and 13 up.

 

That's good news. thanks for updating us

 

One more update... one of the dd-wrt gurus assisting me said that the reason my connection via the router maxes out at ~150 Mbps as opposed to the 250 I see straight from the modem to my laptop gigabit port is that this old router doesn't have the CPU horsepower. So, not that it's totally necessary but I may be upgrading to a new router to get full speed. Mine is 6 years old after all and it has served well.
