I am getting slow internet speed when connected using a Ethernet cable but getting faster internet speed when connected through wifi .How is that possible(I am supposed to get a faster internet speed through a wired connection as compared to wireless)??

Speed should be same for both. Did you try updating/changing the drivers for the LAN ?

Have you used your LAN port in the past ? If yes, was the issue there ?

Seems like hardware malfunction then.
No i don't think so if it would have been a hardware malfunction then internet would have been stopped working too!!!

Sorry for the re-presentation(thread Hijacking).
I mean could you mention about the SNR and Line Attenuation from the image I posted of my Netgear D1500 ADSL2+ modem/router?
My Telephone wire was replaced fully on July this year(brand new wire).
The Netgear D1500 ADSL2+ Modem/Router is functioning fully O.K.

Any remedies???

How did you tested speed ? LAN cards have multiple mods, like half/full duplex, this can affect LAN speed, not internet speed.

Hi Shivam, There might be some issue in your LAN cable or in the port in which you are connecting your LAN cable. Because i also had the same issue and my system was under warranty and now it works very well.
