I just upgraded my internet connection from a max of 30mbps to a max of 100mbps. When I do speed tests now I can't get over 50mbps. I have upgraded the firmware on my router but it didn't help. Can anyone help? Thank you
The netgear r6400 or better depending how big your home is and how much you want to pay the r6400 is ac1750 router 400 mbis on 2.4 ghz n band and 1.3ghz ac on the 5 ghz band for around the 150 dollar or below mark no need for r8500 unless you have need of its power.
Are you getting these results with a wired or a wireless device? If wireless, are you testing at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz? What kind of device is it? Provide the model number and/or Wi-Fi specs, if possible.
I'm testing it wireless. I'm testing is on the speedtest app on an AppleTV and on a laptop computer. I don't have anything wired. The router is a N600. The model number is wndr3400v3. I have only used the 2.4. Don't really know anything about using the 5G
That's good for the wndr3400 with it's 100mbit lan ports and less then 500mhz signle core processor 50mbits and limit to 150 and 300 mbits for 2.4 and 5 ghz channels which you would lucky to reach max speeds. I have 72.6 mbits on my wired ports and only about low 30's to mid 40's and the 5ghz band is dead.
