How do I increase the speed on my R6080
I pay for 200 and get in the low 90’s but when I wire direct from arris modem I’m getting 213 I guess I’ll have to get a different router to handle 200 wireless
A couple things.
1. You're right in that you'll need to upgrade the router to hit 100mbps+ speeds. The bottleneck in the R6080 is its 10/100mbps connections.
2. 200mbps is a decent speed. don't expect to hit 200mbps over 2.4ghz on your devices. 5ghz should but the 2.4ghz band is a slow band and is sensitive to interference.
3. when looking at routers, you don't need "the best" but you do want more than a base model devices. With you already having 200mbps, I'd make sure to get a half decent router so you've got a little future proofing.
