upgrade your router today

[rhoffart]

my netgear 300 started acting up and at first I was pissed. Now I'm glad it did. Just installed netgear n600 ... wow youtube at 1080p ... I couldn't do that before

Out in the sticks I'm limited to broadband and I pay extra for 8 mbps ... now I'm getting what I pay for;

Nice. My sister has an old G router but is paying for Comcast cable internet. It doesn't even have gigabit ports. Such a waste.

Just switched from ATrocious Telecommunications to suddenlink cable, here is mine with a six year old router:



Not bad considering this is probably the worst time of the day to test.

I was told at my slow speeds the router upgrade would not help ... the page loads are at least double if not more ... I always had to watch a youtube video at 360 or less. I just watched one at 1080 and it never stopped, the load was faster then the play ... I'm happy

here is my test video

I need to switch. My upload speeds are capped at 356Kb/s which is AWFUL for uploading photos.

I have no doubt that a cheap and/or malfunctioning router will cause lots of problems, in my case however I doubt very seriously a router upgrade will help. It is great that it helped you out though! Life is nice at high speed, heh.

Test video played great at 1080 on my old router :-)

PS. I should probably mention that my old router is a DGL-4100, heh.

I recently upgraded mine. Granted it was like 8 years old, but my speed increased significantly. I am actually getting better speeds than what I am actually paying for. I am supposed to get 18mb/s and a download of 2mb/s.

This is mine off of my laptops wifi connection to my router. Could be faster but I'm on U-verse rather than roadrunner which is faster.

Are you guys clearing your cache every time you run that speed test?

Is that hardwired to your router.
I'd test it that way but I don't have any machines actually hardwired to the router. I suppose I could take my laptop downstairs and hook it up but I'm too lazy.

I am going to cry, although this is wireless:



I do most of my uploading at work.

hardlined hahaha



Processing photos at the same time...not that it matters

We get more download than we are paying for, just wish my upload was better....
