We just upgraded our cable internet and have consistent speeds of 55Mbps over wired connection. Our wireless signal is much slower, typically 18-20Mbps. I have searched for known issues with the router but have not found any help. The router is a Linksys E2500. I have both the 2.4 and 5Ghz over N-only networks. I was running Mixed but read that using just one may help. I haven't noticed a change. I reset the router and nothing has changed.
Modem is a Surfboard SB6121.
It's not a computer hardware issue--My laptop tested about 50kbps at work.
I know wireless speeds will be slower than wired but we had similar wireless speeds at the cheaper ISP package (25Mbps). The primary use of the wireless is streaming services. Our cable hookup is in the office on the opposite side of the house from our living room.
Is it just time to pay for a nicer router?
