Internet speeds and new router!

marivize · August 28, 2015

I have a new 100mbps optic fiber connection, and via wireless I only get 40mbps on my galaxy s6!

The router is the standard in Portugal the technicolor tg743v3 I think. I also suspect that the router is the problem of the low wireless speeds. Money is no problem when buying equipment, so I thought on buying the Asus router that has 4 atennas working simultaneously, the AC2400. I also have a av500 PowerLine that only gets me 45 mbps of Internet speed. How can I get better wireless performance?

I didn't find anything named technicolor tg743v3...

And, no... It's not standard, It depends from operator to operator

And you know that it says "até" so, it doesn't mean that your going to get those 100mbps guaranteed

If you are wired directly to the modem, what speeds do you get? If it is less than 90Mbps or so, contact your ISP about it (some leeway is expected so 100Mbps means somewhere north of 80 oftentimes, unless you have an SLA. You would know if you had an SLA because you would be paying five times as much or more for the service and the ISP wouldn't treat you like crap). If you get somewhere around 100Mbps connected to the modem, then upgrading your hardware will likely help. For wireless, a good AC router should help - good means not the cheapest one, but you probably don't need the most expensive one either. For powerline, you want to make sure your equipment is rated "HomePlug AV2" which is the newest standard, and was a massive improvement over "HomePlug AV" because it can use the grounding wires of the house to communicate, whereas the previous hardware could only use the two main power connectors.

I'm getting about 87mbps wired. It had an update to 200 mbps today! So I'm going to buy the 4 antennas asus one I guess. How fast should the wireless ac speeds be? No it says guaranteed 200mbps wired in the contract.
