faster internet

[Shenkie]

Hi guys

 

I have a 30Mbps down and 3Mbps up internet subscription at home.

 

Now our provider gave us a Huawei HG655D modem (a long time ago).

It has wifi b/g/n and 100mbps ethernet and voip.

We haven't updated the router once (i did not know it was possible and i dont know how)

Now it does a good job at home for the most time but there are moments where it just take forever to load simple webpage. Games sometimes have like crazy high ping (over 900) which could be my old laptop which i'm going to upgrade soon (in a week or so)

 

Most of our devices at home have support for wifi ac and Gbps ethernet (mine soon) so i wonder

 

can i get my internet speed (wifi and ethernet) run faster if i buy say a new router or modem with  Gbps ethernet and wifi ac dual band and voip.

And if it is possible than are there sub 150 euro options out there?

 

What do you guys think? suggest?

Please leave a answer below!!

It depends.

 

It can be a bit of a pain if your setup was like mine in our old house where there was one box that acted as both the modem and the router. I tried a host of different routers and modems, but it just did not work until we changed isp's.

 

If this is the case, maybe try giving the isp a call to see if you can replace it before looking at buying new hardware (they might want you to buy their stuff)
