I recently moved to a new apartment and barely got my internet installed again. I have spectrum's 100 megabits per second, I had it before and didn't have a problem with it when I had it at my old house.The problem I;m having right now is that the router sits in the living room like it did at my old house, and whenever I go to one of the rooms or go to the restroom the speed throttles severely.
Whenever I'm in the living room I get speeds from 57-77 mbs (despite having a 100 mb plan I've never seen those number but I'm okay with 60+) and on the family computer which is also in the living room and is connected via Ethernet cable I get about 70-85 mbs. But like I said whenever I basically leave the living room, the speed drops to about 3-9 mbs regardless of the wifi signal strength.
My guess would be the interference from other wireless networks, since there's more than 9 or 10. I don't think its the size of the apartment since its a little smaller than my old house where I use to get the same speeds I get in my current living room but in my room.
My router is a Netgear N150 v3, a cheap one since I got it the next day when I originally got my internet installed at my old house.
I was wondering if upgrading my router with a 5ghz channel would improve my speed since, I doubt my neighbors use that since I mainly see 2WIRE networks and I know At&t uses those. My current router uses a 2.4 GHz channel
