You can't increase your speeds with any router, that is down to the Internet Service Provider. DumaOS would be great for your needs but is not available on the router you have.

Thank you for letting me know i thought that the router i purchase also came with DUMAOS. I wonder why it costs as much as the pro gaming router that i wanted to purchase then. Oh well i will just have to return this one and hopefully get all my money back and then just order the pro gaming xr500 and wait a little longer. Also that one claims to help with ping is that solely because of the geo feature where you can make it connect to only low ping near you. Because if so it may not help if i party up to play games of call of duty with friends from Virginia and St. Louis?
