Would 2 routers help?

[tobray5]

Okay so i have xfinity high speed internet, but i dont have the greatest router. The router is a Xfinity tg682 which has a speed of up to 150 mbps. the router is a 2 in one router/modem. When i use my downstairs desktop, it makes the laptops wifi very slow. I also have a belkin play wireless router, which has a maxium speed of 300 mbps. I was wondering, if i used both routers would i have a maxium speed of 450? please explain, my parents are getting mad when i use my desktop cause they cant connect to the internet, so i am wonder if adding the second belkin router would help this issue at all, any help would be great!

is there a way to get rid of the xfinity internet wifi and which one do i use belkin.5524_5ghz Or the belkkin.55D4

In the settings for the xfinity, I'm sure you can turn the WiFi off.

do you know which one is to be used? 5ghz? or 55D4?

I'm not sure what the "belkin.55D4" is. Any more info on that?

So i dont think there is a way to disable the wifi. i found out ther diference between the 2 belkin wifis and i think i am all set now. im just going to have 3 wifis in my house :/ but oh well.
