I recently upgraded my DSL to Fusion X2 service ( Up to 60Mbps ) / 2 data line dsl.
I was provided with a new modem (Pace 5268AC). I started having all sorts of issues with buffering, images not loading on webpages etc. Contacted my ISP and they sent out an Eero system to see if that would help. (I've never had any wireless issues in this apartment before like this. Most of the devices are no more than 20' from the router).
So I set up the Eero and it has definitely helped, however I have no desire to buy one of my own or rent theirs for $12/mo.
I had a D-Link 655 and set that up and have them both connected to the Pace. I tested the speed on both and the D-Link is much slower, any idea why? I am hitting nowhere near the max for that router and my line is fully capable for 2x the speed as shown by the Eero.
Update - Just connected an Airport Express and its faster but still slower than the Eero, except its ping is faster and the upload is faster?
Is there a way to get either the Airport or the D-Link to match the Eero speeds?
D-Link - DL - 13.24 mbps / UL 7.89 mbps (ping 21ms)
Eero - DL - 24.65 mbps / UL 7.89 mbps (ping 22ms)
Airport - DL - 15.44 mbps / UL 8.43mbps (ping 25)
Thanks!
