How to improve our home wifi - upgrade the T3200 modem?
Well, I've been dreading trying to tackle this problem because it has been going on for so long. I'm guessing it is worse because we have 4 people at home, working from home now. We have a T3200...
Have a look at this thread which goes through the steps for isolating where the problem might be.
When testing with your laptop make sure your Ethernet cable is capable of gigabit speeds. Not all are, especially older ones. You need all 8 pins connected for gigbit otherwise it's 100mb. Also make sure your laptop's Ethernet adapter is gigabit. Not all are.
Did you do a speed test from the T3200M? Log on to the router to do so.
Thanks for your reply. My laptop is a 2 year old MacBook Pro, so hopefully the laptop is ok. I checked the cable and it is Ethernet Cat5e with 8 pins. I'm using an Apple adapter to connect from my laptop USB port.
I didn't log on to the router to do the speed test, so I'll try that next. thx.
