Hey everyone, I'm looking to upgrade to a new router, but I don't know if that's actually the problem with our internet. Right now the connection I have to the router network is great (144.4 Mbps) but my internet speed is between 2 and 5 Mbps. I don't expect much from comcast, but I'm paying for 50Mbps and I find it hard to believe they would actually only give us 1/10 of that. Think its possible the router is the issue? Its a Linksys E1200, only a couple years old. I'm not too famililar with improving networks, is it possible some configuration we have is the issue or is comcast just really that bad?

Thanks!
