I need some advice on what's going on with my wireless connection. I've been asking around some tech friends in real life and wanted to see what you guys thought about it.
Essentially, I pay for 105mpbs connection speed. It's only me and fiance that live in the house. However, I noticed it was being sluggish so I ran some speed tests and I'm only getting 28-32 mbps but I pay for 105! Pretty ridiculous. Yes, I understand that you will get a drop-off when going wireless, but I feel like 80 mbps is just ridiculous. If she wants to stream netflix, I can't do anything gaming related because my MS will be like 500-600. I feel this shouldn't happen for what I'm paying
In terms of a router\modem I only use the one that comcast provides to me. Is it possible that I pay for 105, but the router they provide caps out at like 30-40? Also, the router is located on the first floor, probably about 20-30 feet way from my laptop. I even moved my laptop directly next to the modem and got the same shitty results. The only thing left to test is a wired connection, which I haven't done yet.
Is my only option to go out a buy a linksys router? Will that greatly improve my results? I have a comcast technician coming tomorrow, but I feel like it's just going to be a waste of time.
Let me know if you need any more info.
Thanks,
Aucy
