Speeds through a Booster
Have 1Gig internet , my question is about a booster , I have a booster hardwired from modem it runs to the other side of my house, was wondering what strength of signal should I get from a hardwired ...
I have been fighting this issue with telus since I first signed up with telus. They have just told me that the 1g is only wired and that the router is only capable of 400 Mbps. Fraudulent advertising in my opinion!
I think the basic problem is that you have a high potential speed with PureFibre, but the signal is still sent through the fairly standard T3200 modem/router. The T3200M Manual suggests this is an 11ac wireless modem, but the specifications show a maximum of 11n. See page 64 in the manual. According to the table that NFtoBC posted earlier, and shown below this is the limiting factor for wireless. It would seem that if one wanted faster wireless you would have to buy your own third party modem/router to get for example 802.11ax and a much higher wireless speed. With the standard T3200M modem the manual suggests a maximum of 300 Mbps, but this table indicates 100 Mbps.
