Is my old WNDR 4500 slowing me down?
I have a high speed fibre optic connection in Japan with a max speed of 1Gbps. On either the 2GHz or 5GHz band, with or without connecting via NordVPN, my D/L speed tests return anywhere from 15Mbps ...

Factory reset the router and during the install, make sure to leave any additional settings such as qos, access control, traffic monitoring, parental controls, etc all disabled.

OK so after the factory reset, the 2GHz band is around 30-40mbps and the 5GHz band is getting just of 100mbps. Are these the kinds of speeds I should expect from this router? Given that I have a 1Gps connection would a newer, faster router likely result in faster speeds? Thanks again.
