Top speed of router?

Hello.

We are using a WNDR3700v4 Netgear router.

Our landlord has recently upped our speed from 5g to 10g, however we are not seeing a huge difference.

 

On the router, there are LED's for 2.5ghz and 5g.

 

Is this the top speed our router can output?

IE- if we want 10g speed will we need to update our router?

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hello Dan3FOR

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    The LED's you see are wireless standards. This does not indicate about the wireless speed.

    Can you verify the internet speed from your ISP?

    The router is capable of up to 1000Mbps or 1Gbps.

    If that's 10Gbps then you must upgrade your router.
