Hello! The issue you're facing might be related to how your old Ethernet cable connects to the WAN port. Using a powerline adapter could potentially bypass the router's speed limits. It’s worth checking if the adapter supports higher speeds or if there are other factors affecting performance. Your ASUS AC1900 router should handle more than 24 Mbps if configured correctly.
This doesn't quite work unless you're relying on something old like a WRT54G.
You're trying to boost performance by adding more devices or accessories, but it's like forcing more water through a narrower pipe—your connection won't get faster.
The router's brand and model are not specified. The internet speed you pay for depends on your service provider.
Paying for 25 Mbps doesn’t guarantee 24Mbps. There’s no legal method to achieve a faster connection. Powerline adapters let devices talk to each other over a local network, but you can’t connect one directly to an outlet to get internet.
You're likely dealing with a Windstream modem/router paired with an Asus 1900C. The main goal is to switch the device into bridged mode, which prevents double-NATing and ensures traffic flows correctly through the router instead of the modem. This adjustment might not resolve speed issues if the modem itself isn't up to the required bandwidth. Your current setup offers a 50Mbps down/10Mbps up VDSL connection, but due to distance and network quality, you typically see 35-40Mbps down.
