My current home set-up is two desktops on Xfinity internet, using a MOTOROLA SB5120 modem pared with a WRT160N V3 router.
I was told that my router was bottlenecking my download speeds. It is quite annoying when we can't download anything because it will slow any gameplay going on, we have to do one thing a time. Even Youtube videos will slow us down.
My SPEEDTEST.NET results are:
Ping: 45 ms
Download Speed: 9.44 Mbps
Upload Speed: 4Mbps
Would I benefit from getting a new modem or router...or both? Thank you in advance.
Note: I only have 2 computers in my network and a few ipods, but I plan on adding 2 more desktops in the future.
Thinking of buying:
