First of all, all I can say is WOW! All of this time I have been complaining to my ISP about slow internet speeds and not getting what I am paying for. I have been signed up for 100mbps for the longest time, but on the best of days I would only get 35mbps. I checked my modem, it's a DOCIS 3.0 so I guess I just chalked it up to being in a bad coverage area.
The slow speeds really started annoying me as the wifi in my bedroom would barely reach 5mbps and I would end up switching to LTE on my phone to get webpages to load. I purchased my wireless router in 2010 (seven years ago) and the whole time in between I was ignorant to think that WiFi technology hasn't changed and that I didn't need an upgrade. Boy was I wrong.
I finally concluded that the problem has to be with my router so I hit up Amazon to find a new one since mine was so dated. I looked at various NetGear routers but decided against them from the many negative reviews. I stumbled across this router, and even though it is on the pricier side of the house, the reviews were solid and I took the plunge and boy am I happy I did.
My internet is now faster than ever and I am finally getting what I am paying for! I couldn't be happier. These are the speeds I was getting before and after purchasing this router:
Living room:
Before -- 35mbps
After -- 118mbps
Bedroom:
Before -- 5mbps
After -- 102mbps
Bathroom:
Before -- 1mbps
After -- 50mbps
As you can see, the speeds have been significantly impacted. The antennas on these bad boys send the signal all the way to the back of my house and I can finally browse in peace where ever I am. Honestly, I can't believe I waited this long to make the upgrade.
If you have terrible service and aren't getting the speeds you are paying for, your problem very well may be in your dated router, as mine was. If you have a few extra bucks to spend to finally get those speeds you've been dreaming of -- GET THIS ROUTER!
