internet speed
The wired speed from Charter from their modem is 70 but i can only get 28 from the wireless router. no updates are available according to the firmware upgrade info. i have tried most of the channels ...
I cannot really tell exactly as to why they go bad for only a few years. Though in my own experience I had one which lasted for 6 years and that was a G router.
As a recommendation, check first the wireless adapters on your network. Are these devices using 802.11a, 802.11b/g/n or 802.11ac adapters?
Will you be upgrading in the near future? Because if you do then it would be better if you get yourself something newer like one of the AC routers.
In this way, you will be able to take advantage of the speed.
You may check the list of our routers here and see what suits you.
This will be the third Netgear Router i have bought, why do they go bad after only a few years?
if I need a new one that can give us the required wireles speed can you tell me what model I should get please?
Thanks for your help
