Hello. Your Wi-Fi setup shows mixed performance—up to 45 Mbps advertised by AT&T, but only 8-12 Mbps on your laptop and 22-25 Mbps when connected directly. You’re looking for ways to improve reliability and speed. Considering your friend’s experience with the Linksys Velop Dual-Band Mesh system, it might help to explore that option or similar mesh solutions. A better router could also boost performance, especially if your current model is outdated. Check if your existing router is a bottleneck when using the mesh network. Regarding upgrading your plan, since AT&T offers the fastest speeds in your area, switching ISPs may not be necessary unless you need more consistent service.
