Here ya go, folks
100+? I only have 30 mb/s, do I need to paid more to speed up?
This is on my Macbook Air (using the Netgear WNDR4300, 802.11n and 5GHz):
This is from my 17" Dell laptop (using the WNDR4300, 802.11n and 2.4GHz):

Here is mine in Colorado Springs Colorado. Xfinity, on eXtreme 150.
cant quite get my full 1gbps under windows for some reason
The server is maybe loaded or your ISP is throttling you
I have the lowest package the cable company offers with a 15mbs limit so I suppose its doing well.
I did however just upgrade my package to the 50mbps and Im not sure if it'll help. But they said they have to come out this Saturday and give me a new modem since the one I have will not work at those speeds.
So I have a couple questions and hopefully someone will know.
I have a Netgear N900 4500 router. Dual band 450+450.
Its running 4 wired devices (My main PC, PS4, PS3, and Amazon Fire TV are wired)
And 11 wireless devices. 1 desktop, 1 laptop, 1 printer, 5 Smart phones, and 2 tablets. And DirectTv genie is on the Wireless too.
Problem Ive been having is things slowing way down at times.
For example, when my niece, who lives with me, is Streaming HD Netflix and doing whatever else she does on her laptop in her room while Im downloading a Steam or PSN game, things start slowing down. Sometimes causing buffering on the second PC on Youtube.. Of course theres other minor things going on to but thats probably the busiest it gets.
At any count, the routers been a great one thus far, but just curious if Id need to upgrade it to a faster wireless one or if it should be OK if the source bandwidth is higher.
It doesn't drop signal or anything, unless Internet goes down, just slows down when alots going on in the house at once.
So faster Wifi or should more bandwidth do the trick?
Also curious how best to allocate the wireless. Laptop and PC on 5Ghz, and all the phones tablets etc on 2.4?
--- Oh And the Wireless PC does show the same results on Speed test as mine on the hardline. So should it get 50 to?
