My apologies if this should be posted somewhere else. I just moved to a new state and I am using the same modem/router combo I have for the last several years. However, I’m not getting nearly the download speeds I probably should be. I have the Blast! Internet option from Xfinity which can get download speeds up to 250 mbps. I realize that’s maximum, but in several speed tests, I haven’t ever exceded 10 mbps.
I’m wondering if my modem and/or router are slowing me down, and if I should invest in new ones, especially since the wifi isn’t as good on one end of my place versus the other. Any thoughts on if these are the problem and I should move forward with something newer?
The modem is a Motorolo SURFboard SB6141
The router is a Zyxel NBG-419N
My wife works from home and uses the internet to telecommute in and any additional online work. We also are cord cutters, so we use it to stream a lot, besides general use from our phones and laptops. Also, I have several gaming consoles and a gaming computer I use to play online at times, but that takes up the least amount of my time.
