How fast is your internet service? You can get routers that have way better transmission speeds than basic cable internet speeds. So, it's tough to recommend a router without knowing what we are working with.
I am on Cincinnati bell, not sure what the speed is. The problem with my router is it has poor range slow speed, disconnects a lot. When I use my hardwire connection all my company stuff flows thru quick, never an issue. I think My router sucks.
Wow that's horrible. Is that on wifi or hard wired. I'm 50 down, 5 up. That's what I pay for and regularly get. I use it for work and we stream all TV content.
Is that the advertised speed or the actual measured speed? My provider in the boonies of Maine says "up to 5 Mb/s" but it's closer to 2 Mb/s. There are several test sites out there, try http://performance.toast.net/ for one test.
5 mb/s is rather slow, probably can't watch movies without lots of buffering.
Find out if you can get fiber service. I've got 1000 in, 1000 out. I can stream 4k to every device in my house at once, while playing games, and pirating a dozen bluray movies at once.
They offer no upgraded service from Cincinnati Bell in my area. It is good enough for Netflix. The cable company said the cable speed in checks out, the only reason for disconnects and slowdowns is the router they say.
I don't knw alot about this stuff, I just use for work. Could it by the wireless router? It is a D-Link Model DRI- 605L. 35 bucks. I am thinking junk?
Routers do fail over time, and disconnects are symptom. I'm running a Linksys EA9300, which is a $300 router, but worth it if you have a connection like mine. Just swap yours for a $100 linksys and your disconnect issues should go away.
My neighborhood is getting wired for fiber optic right now. I'm excited. When it's up and running I'm going to see what the pricing will be as compact to Comcast. I can't complain too much about Comcast. It's a bit pricey, but works pretty darn good.
I was spending $200/month on Comcast. Internet, TV, premium channels, etc.
I ditched all of that. I'm paying $100/month for Consolidated fiber. My speeds are 20x faster down, 100x faster up. It comes with 100 tv channels I don't use. I pay $30/month for Netflix & Hulu, but I was already paying those when I had Comcast.
