Hi all
I need to get a new modem. The one that the ISP provides is a turd.
(I know the difference between a router and a modem, I'm simplifying for the sake)
I'm getting 20meg/s for a 150meg line with the current setup, best speeds are 50.
Right next to the modem it's better but a short move away and it drops off.
If you have suggestions on how to improve the speeds before I spend the money, please let me know.
I was looking at this for as a modem: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/ubi...-dual-band-a-b-g-n-ac-lcd-touchscreen-display
Edit; Changing the wireless mode of the modem from the stock settings to a different and entirely random mode made a huge difference. (Mode is not the same as channel - it's on channel 3 which is the least common channel around me).
