Boost your router's performance for faster internet speeds.
Boost your router's performance for faster internet speeds.
I purchased an inexpensive router that was discounted. I've been looking for a portable Wi-Fi solution for some time, but budget was a challenge. The school provides LAN access in older buildings, and I usually bring a CAT6 cable for internet use. Through the direct connection, speeds are typically 4-7 Mbps (not even close to 1 Mbps). The school limits bandwidth to 18 Mbps maximum. With this router, I don’t see the full potential from the same port. Is this typical? If so, what factors influence it? I assumed a direct LAN connection would offer better performance, but I never expected such a significant improvement.
Before the upgrade, speeds were around 4 to 7 Mbps. Including the router, you now achieve up to 18 Mbps.
Yes. The school network speed is limited to 18 Mbps, yet a direct LAN connection would provide only 4-7 Mbps. Perhaps the issue lies in how the LAN cables were set up inside the building—it might be outdated.
Great, now it's back online and performance improved significantly.
