  • Do I need a better wireless router after TWC Maxx upgrade?

    So I was updated to the 100/10 internet speed by TWC, but when I run a speed test, I only get 50/10 over Wi-Fi. I ran a hard connection from my laptop to the router, and it gets 100/10.

    This is what I currently have [ame]http://www.amazon.com/RangeMax-Wireless-WNR1000-100NAS-G54-N150/dp/B001UI4RTG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1444933298&sr=8-1&keywords=netgear+wireless[/ame]

    I'd get this. I have it and its a great router. 41 megabytes per second wifi transfer, to my HTPC in the next room. Needless to say its a fast mofo

    They got refurbished ones on amazon for $64. I'd also check ebay. Good bang for the buck

        I have this same router on Charter(60 down) and been very happy with it but I also upgraded my wireless adapters to AC band as well.

        This might help...

          Curious, do you really need more over your wireless connection?

            FWIW, after TWC sent me the new modem I am getting ~180/24 on wireless

            I'll have to look and see which router I have.

                I bought my own and called them to activate it. I previously had a 2.0 modem

                  Yeah sorry I forgot to mention that. In order to see those speeds, you'd need an AC wifi adapter on whatever device it was. I haven't looked but I don't think the older stuff will go that fast.
