Huge difference in wired and wireless speeds?

I assume your router and/or wireless devices are 802.11g, which has a theoretical max of 54mbps. Real world speeds won't be that fast, and 30-35mbps sounds pretty typical. You can try different channels to maybe eek a little more speed out of it, but it won't be much.

You have two options:

#1 Wire everything that you want to be faster

OR

#2 Get a router that supports 802.11n or 802.11ac, AND upgrade the wireless devices that you want to be faster to match.




#1 is better and cheaper, but obviously not always ideal or possible. #2 can get pricey, and is likewise not always possible. Maybe give us more detail as to what you are trying to accomplish or what problems you're having, and also what type of devices you're using.

I've found that my Comcast wireles modem has to be rebooted every now and then because the signal strength "hangs up." I was doing the LSU game a week or so ago and wireless speeds kept dipping to 1 mb/s.

Finally rebooted the modem and speeds picked up and remained consistent at 65-72 mb/s.

Only drawback is it takes 5 minutes to reset the cable signal, wireless signal, etc.

This will let you view the wireless network traffic around you. You want to put your router on the least congested channel, and do it on channel 1, 6 or 11. If you set it for any other channel, then you cross over into other channels, causing potential issues for you and others.

This works on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks, assuming your computer's network card works on 5Ghz networks.
