If after you have checked all the usual stuffs you do to troubleshoot a wireless connection (channel, router location, driver update for the wifi adapter, etc., etc.) you still can’t get the full speed, I suggest you to turn off the Actiontec’s wireless radio and hook up a 3rd party AP instead.
I had the same issue with my FiOS wireless and solved the problem by doing the above suggestion. I am convinced that there is a problem with the Actiontec. You can read the test in my post here: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/How-to-Get-the-Fastest-FiOS-Speed/td-p/462931/page/2
And if you research this on dslreports.com, you will see many users have the same complaint and they solve the problem by using an AP other than the Actiontec’s.

So I switched to a new wireless router, I'm using my old Belkin N+ that worked well with Comcast. The problem is STILL PERSISTING!! This makes me think that the packets themselves are being manipulated and/or ranked by the actiontec.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks alot. This worked. It didn't bring my speed to 50mbps but at least it brought it to 20-25.

I just purchased the new action tech router and performance is horrible....
I am paying for 75 speed and only getting 25 up and 25 down. Does Verizon provide credit for underdelivery of service?
I have a brand new apple mac book pro and i am sitting five feet from the router.
When I plug into the router-- I get 75 mbps speeds.
This doesnt make sense?
Should I buy an apple router or just a new N router to solve the problem?
Any other tweeks you can suggest?
thanks,

Yes. Definately get an N router and hook it up. Directions are here. I wouldn't both getting an Apple router unless you are a big fan because they tend to be overprice. Here is a good guide for choosing a router.

Thank you. Your advice helped. No need to add another router. I actually set up a WPA2 password. Hope this can be easily found with others having the same problem.
