Pro Nighthawk Routers
So i recently moved house and have found out the wifi here is terrible i have spent weeks trying to fidn the fasts speeds but it seems that all the companys offer the same speed (24-40 download) So m...
Are you asking about download speeds for ISP services? Most current wifi routers support around 500Mpbs on wireless, depending upon your wireless device and it's design and support. Most 5Ghz AC class devices max out at around 500Mpbs. Wired 1000Mpbs should see near 900Mpbs or just over with a wired PC or laptop.
ISP regulates speeds on there network. So contact them for official speeds and packages they offer.
Modems used as well can impact operations and performances. Stand alone modems are recommended for use with external routers such as NG XR series routers.
Yeah so my isp is giving me speeds of around 30 download 5-7 upload and most isps around my area offer the same and no higher so can the nighthawk boost my speeds up much higher?
No, no router can do that. Again, speeds are regulated by the ISP so they will be capped at the ISP level. No router can boost speeds from the ISP.
Ah okay so i need to wait until fibre gets here then i take it
