Ac1200 Model R6120 Internet light staying amber
I have AC1200 R610 wifi router. The internet LED light is just staying amber the entire time. I still have internet but it's been rather stuttery ever since getting a firmware update from NETGEAR. Do...
So new wifi router will increase my speed? Just to clarify. I'm quite tech illiterate. If that is the case, thanks very much!

Yes.
It should go up from something like 95-100 Mbps out of the router to around 300 Mbps, perhaps a bit higher. (ISPs often "over provision".)
If you would like to try it before you spend any money, and you have a wired computer, a laptop say, that you can connect to the Ethernet port on the modem, you can run a speed test there. Just plug into the modem and run a test.
Not only would a new router make your Ethernet connection three times faster, it will improve the wifi.
At the moment, no matter how fast you can connect to your wifi, it will never carry traffic at more than 100 Mbps because that is the fastest that things can get between your network and the outside world.
No need to spend a fortune, anything will be a massive improvement over the R6120.
