Hello.
I currently have a Linksys E4200 router. All my computer are wireless. Here it comes the problem. I got this internet plan which suppose to be download up to 100 Mbps. However, i am only getting 50Mbps . So i decided to give a call to the service provider.
They told me to directly connect to the modem to the computer. So i say to my self duh of course it would be blazing fast with one connection and specially directly connecting it.
He came up with a conclusion saying that the router that i have which is Linksys E4200 may be capping the speed or defective. The E4200 suports up to 300 - 450 Mbps. I told him that and he ask how old is the router, i say roughtly maybe 2 years or 3 at most.
He found the solution, the router is defective.. So i ask him which router would you recommend to get pass 50Mbps since i have a plan that reaches 100Mbps. He say he doesnt know. As he said i needed a new router, i ask him. What if i get a router that caps my internet speed at 50Mbps also? He respond. That shouldnt happen....
My question here is, does router get defective over time? Does that mean every 2 or 3 years i have to buy a new router..? If the router does become defective overtime or if i may have a one that is dying slowly. Which router would you recommend to reach my top wireless speed of 100Mbps?
I have 3 wireless laptop and 2 wireless devices. However, when they are not on i am still not getting over 50 Mbps. My old plan was 50Mbps but he insist and say that my plan is 100Mbps which they upgrade it 2 weeks ago and i did speedtest which caps me 50Mbps.
