your current wifi is quite slow, especially on a good day. would upgrading the router help boost the connection speed? i know a better router will strengthen the signal and extend coverage, but it shouldn’t change the internet speed itself. your device is rated for 11mbps, and in a rural area the connection quality is already poor.

It seems there might be an issue with the modem.

You can try addressing the issue directly with the relevant party or seeking solutions through available channels.

What speed are you receiving from your internet service? If you're unsure, connect a laptop directly to the wall's Ethernet port and check the connection speed.

bandwidth refers to the rate of data transfer. On your desktops via Ethernet, it's around 600KBps, which is roughly 3.5 to 4.5Mbps.

You need to understand your internet setup in this remote location. What type of connection are you using? Which device does your provider supply? Do you own a separate wireless access point? If you’re limited to just 600kbps over a direct Ethernet link, it could indicate issues with the wiring, the modem/router, or the internet service you’re receiving.

They're talking about the speed your connection can actually handle. The term "kind of internet connection" usually refers to a slower-than-ideal speed, often due to network congestion or outdated hardware.

What rate are you charging for your internet service? What method does your ISP use to deliver the connection? Is it wireless, coaxial cable, a phone line, or DSL?

I think IPS uses a phone line. I connect a tiny Ethernet cable into a filter that fits a phone socket, and it runs at 11MBps.

It seems DSL typically reaches up to 100Mbps under ideal circumstances, though that’s in megabits per second rather than megabytes per second. Are you certain your connection is around 11Mbps and not 11Mbps? Also, the farther you are from your DSL provider’s location, the stronger the signal loss and the slower the connection becomes. Since you’re in a rural area, you likely have the fastest speeds possible on a DSL line. A new router won’t boost your internet speed much if this is true, though it might improve WiFi reach if you have a newer router.
