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...
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
Even then regardless of ISP or speed, wifi routers don't boost speed. Yes Fiber does offer faster speeds. Will depend on what the ISP sets up and offiers for customers to use. If they have 1Gb speeds then with most any current router, you should see near 900Mpbs on a wired connection, WAN to LAN.
I'm on a 1Gb/50Mpbs speed package here. All my routers support 900mpbs on speet tests. :smileywink:
900mpbs on speed tests...
