You would be seeing to spec speeds on wifi on this particular router due to it's 100Mpbs WAN and LAN port speeds. You'll not see anything near 100Mpbs. Wired you should see near 100Mpbs and that's about it.
If your ISP service is 100Mpbs on the down, then his router is doing it's job. If you up your ISP speeds beyond 100Mpbs, then you'll need to review and consider a newer generation router.
I realised I posted in the wrong forum topic so moved the thread to here:
So to confirm I am seeing as fast as this router will give me and I won't actually see 100Mbps with it wireless or ethernet?
Wireless no, wired should be near 100Mpbs. Nothing over.
This router is of older generation and maybe time to find something newer. Give you some head room and future proofing some as well.
Hmm seems like wired is not doing what it should then. But as you say maybe I should go for a higher spec router anyhow for long term.
If a router is listed as a 'gigabit' router, does that mean it can support speeds up to 1Gbps if the supplied internet is that fast? And would that work both wired and wireless?
For example:
