-Hi all, I am actually a fairly knowledgeable pc guy but not so much for networking. Therefore, I have a simple(?) question. Right now I have a Comcast Infinity account at 220+ Mbps. Using Speedtest.net, I get a good reading both ways but I still get lots of buffering and some stuttering with streaming. Especially MLB.tv.
-My current modem/router is a single channel Netgear N450 and I just upgraded the network adapter to a TP-Link Gb PCI Express. My question is, will I get better streaming with a connection that is directly from the Gb network adapter to a modem such as a Netgear CM500 (and keep the N450 for WiFi) or, do I need to buy a better Modem/Router combo that supports Gb speeds? Will this even increase the speed of my connection to eliminate the stuttering and buffering?
-Is the modem the main part in regards to internet and streaming speeds for wired solutions? Will a Gb modem allow for true, in my case, 220 Mbps data flow whereas the N450 creates a bottleneck? Again, for me, pcs are easy, networking not so much. thx in advance
