is AX router needed for 1Gigabit PureFibre ?
Hi, I just upgraded from 150/150(300Mbps) to 1Gb PureFibre , my current Telus device is T3200M (from 2018). When I run speed tests directly from the Telus box , the max I can get is around 350-50...
Thank you Nighthawk for the details,
I just plugged into a cable cat5e and received instant 960 Mbps.
What I find a bit odd is the router built-in test never get that speed.
Also I found stats in the router and they don't really match with what I see from a browser test (wifi) .
These results are higher :
I guess without AX wifi router or booster, then no real gain going with 1G , 500mbps would give me ma max speed anyways . Right ?

The built in tests haven't worked in years. They're good for 250mbps connections but not faster. It's been mentioned on the forums here in the past but it's been quite a while since I've seen it. You'd need an actual external speed test site like speedtest.net or fast.com.
