Hi guys.
Here in the UK my ISP is Virgin Media and im running their standard Hub 3.0. I have a 200mbs connection speed and when plugged into the router via ethernet i do get that speed, however when connected to wifi ive never seen it above 90mbs and often it is around 60mbs (on 2.4ghz).
I am thinking of upgrading my router to the Asus RT-AC86-U
My first question is...if i do the upgrade can i expect faster speeds via wifi than i am currently getting with my ISP router?
The router is in the far corner of the front room and im currently in the far corner of the back room upstairs, so literally the furthest I can be from my router, and im getting 20mbs. I have a range extender which will give me 40mbs when i connect to that.
My second question....will upgrading my router give me a better wifi range than my ISP router and therefore a greater speed at this distance?
Many thanks.
