Hi guys, right now in my home I have airport time capsule for the main network router, connected to my modem. Then, I have a cat6 cable running up to my room for improved wireless connection in my room. I run the second router, which is also an airport time capsule albeit an older model. It serves it purpose just fine, but I’m only getting about 120 mbps wired from an advertised 200 from my network provider. I have yet to test whether being connected to the router downstairs wired directly will give me a stronger connection than being connected to the router upstairs, but I was getting around 120 upstairs using bridge mode. So I was thinking something was bottlenecking it, as having my phone right next to my router downstairs was still getting ~100 mbps. Should I upgrade my router downstairs or upstairs?
From what I observe, each airport time capsule supports gigabit speeds, making it sufficiently quick. Just connect your device straight to the modem and verify your ISP provides at least 200 Mbps.
