So I have Comcast and I am renting their newest Gateways and I have a question not about cost and saving money but from a performance standpoint. Are their rented gateways performance wise good or poor? Would I be better off buying my own modem and router to get better performance?
This leads me to my next question. I live in an old house (built in 1953) and my modem is in one corner of the house upstairs and my media/gaming room is downstairs in the basement. My xbox one and ps4 see the wifi and connect to it but the signal is not reliable and the speed is much slower. Upstairs I get my max speed at 75mbps but down stairs I get 50mbs running test on Macbook both times but xbox one speed fluctuates with an average of 5mbps.
Whats going on here? Is the xbox and ps4 wifi adapters just terrible or is my wifi signal just poor due to the house or Comcast's Gateway Im renting? Could a wifi range extender fix this?
