Hello,
My desktop is connected to my ISP's modem/router via ethrenet cable. Everything works fine, although I do lose connection at random times. However, I live in an apartment building with a front door buzzer that calls our phone so we can let guests in and my connection is dropped every time that system kicks in. I realize I'll have to contact my ISP to fix that issue.
Here are the specifications I could find about my router which is a Sagecom Fast 4350 (or Bell Home Hub 1000)
dsl modem/wireless router
PHY modes: bgn
Manufacturer: Pegatron
CPU1: Broadcom BCM63168U
RAM1: 128MiB
WI1: Atheros Ar9381 3x3:3, bgn
WI2: BCM53124
Switch: 10/100/1000 4 LAN, 1 WAN
USB 2.0, 2 ports
Speeds: Down - 50mb/s, Up - 10mb/s
Also the router produces only a single 2.4 GHz band with about 3 tablets, 4 phones almost consistently connected via wifi, in addition to my desktop which is connected via ethrenet cable. I do a ton of gaming and streaming simultaneously.
My question is:
1. Considering I do not connect through wifi, would it be a good idea to get a higher-end router like an Asus AC1900 or a Netgear Nighthawk to get a better/faster connection? Or just keep the ISP modem/router as a new router would (maybe) only produce the same numbers.
2. Any suggestions on how to better set up internet would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your answers!
