Dhcp Mode Can I Change The Frequency With Which I Have To Login To My Isp Page

Restored router to factory default now internet is slower?

I restored my router to factory default because when i got online with my games sometimes i would have trouble maintaining a connection online. I would get the message my router settings are too strict or something like that.

So after restoring i tried to get the DNS type changed but now its asking me for all these crazy numbers that i dont have.( i used the CMD with ipconfig and those numbers arent working) Currently i have it on Dynamic setting but i have noticed a dramatic slowdown in internet speeds.

Here is what i have hooked up to my wifi
Two laptops (typically one is usually in hibernate)
2 android phones
and sometimes a tower pc but we use the ethernet cable for that.

I did an internet speed check using wifi and cable. WIth wi fi i get .85-.95mbs in DL speeds while using ethernet i get 28.5mbs.

Is my router going dead or is it just some settings i need to tweak. Please if your gonna recommend how to tweak keep it in as much kiddy terms as possible. Not super savvy when it comes to the networking department of things.

Additional Info-
Router is a Belkin N300 Wireless N
Model#- F9k1002v5
ISP- Comcast(Xfinity) so i believe its cable internet but i could be wrong.

Thanks for reading and for your help

Access Points stops broadcasting IP addresses?

Personally I do not like multi-AP networks that have the APs set to the same BSSID and SSID. (They can all have the same encryption details.) I have had bad experiences with client machines jumping between duplicate APs in the middle of their sessions, sometimes leaving a strong signal and attaching to a much weaker signal. You also need to be careful about having APs that are physically close together on channels that are close together. On the 2.4 GHz band a channel can interfere with other channels up to four channels away (e.g. channel 6 can interfere with channels 2, 3, 4 and 5, and channels 7, 8, 9 and 10). The interference is less critical if the APs are further apart physically.

I assume that the guest network is primarily to allow guests to access the Internet. There is probably no reason why guests should be able to connect to other guest's computers. In fact, I suspect most guests would prefer not to be able to be accessed by other guests' machines.

Why not have each AP working on its own class C sub-net, and using its own DHCP server. Some APs have a feature that prevents WiFi clients from being able to connect to other WiFi clients. If your APs have this function, it might be advisable to enable it. Many guests may not be security aware and have computers that are open to hacking.

Finally, I have seen a similar sort of problem to the one describe with a Thomson router - similar but not quite the same. With this particular router, Microsoft Networking stopped working after a few hours. The client machines would still communicate using their IP addresses, but not using Microsoft Networking. A reboot of the router was the only way to get the MS networking running again for a few more hours. I suspect that you may be seeing a similar problem with the connections to your DHCP server, which is why I suggest using separate sub-nets for the APs and using the APs' own DHCP services if they can be configured correctly.
