Hi,
I currently have a TP-Link Archer C9 from quite a few years ago which is going strong. Our current ADSL connection is limited to 38Mb but I am looking into increasing this. Due to Xboxs, Netflix and PC gaming at home, there can be quite a lot going on in parallel.
I was wondering if our current Wifi router wasn't up to handling all of the streams so I have been on the hunt for newer equipment.
Router 1 - Asus CT8 - Base and an additional node. Base was fine, but the node kept disconnecting all of the time. Even when connecting it was a third of the speed of the base unit.
Router 2 - Linksys MR9600 - Worked on first day, speed was better all over the house; on the second day, it kept falling over, and when it was up, was a third of the speed.
When the routers were operating successfully, the Speed Tests I ran from different locations in the house were from 24 to 38Mb.
A couple of questions:
Regards,
Ian.

A couple of questions:
- Is the Archer C9 still good enough for multiple devices?
- If I do increase my ADSL connection speed, will the Wifi speeds in my house increase proportionally, or will a 24Mb now, be 24Mb even with a 66Mb connection?
