Reply To: Internet And Router Speed Query Hi All This may sound like a silly question but it’s something I would like some clarification on before I spend out on a new router, and I’m hoping someone…

Many thanks for the info Sentinel, you learn something new everyday!

So from what you are saying I wouldn’t see a hugely noticeable difference from buying a more powerful, high end router from what I am using at present?

I have to say that I hardly have any buffering issues with my AC56U, the odd couple of seconds here and there, plus never any lag in online gaming either. The Vigor 130 has synced at 79995 kbps on the download and 20000 kbps on the upload, which I presume is good? I can also achieve wired speed test results of >76 Mbps on the download, with ping of around 8 ms. I was using an unlocked Huawei HG612, but found my internet to be slugglish, albeit with no issues, since using the Vigor 130, my internet connection does seem sharper. Got a feeling that’s due to matching the Vigor 130s ECI chipset with my ECI cabinet.
