Increasing Gigabit speeds
My current setup is the Arcadyan router with 2 boosts setup in the house. One of the boosts is used to wire my gaming Systems which is about 10 feet away from the router. I also have Optik tv. Sinc...
I'm on a similar boat actually.
Our first plan was the 300/300. Our T3200M is near our TV console since we also have Optik TV (which requires it to be hooked up to it). However, I bridged it to a Netgear Orbi router (we live in a pretty big house so a better router was needed) which is then power lined to the Orbi satellite. I was getting decent speeds with Wi-Fi (320 down, 280up). Using Wi-Fi then because my PC was about 10-13 ft away from the router. Recently, Telus offered to upgrade to their 750/750 plan for a decent price. So I went for it. I did speed tests and was getting around the same result as my on my wi-fi network. (320/300) so I decided to get a long cat6 cable and wired it to the router. I got better speeds which was 430 down, and 380 up, but no where near the 750 mark. Not sure where I'm losing speeds at.
I was previously with Shaw before switching to Fibre and ran the same setup with their 600 plan and I was getting the advertised speeds.
The best telus techs have ever got is 577 Mbps....I have the 1g plan.
