Does having a good router affect the Internet speed a lot?

I'm paying for 100 mbps and speed tests are showing it at like 10-25...

Yes and no.

pretty much all routers can handle up to a 100mbps connection. If your net is higher than that, It can cap it if you have a shit router.


Unless the router is very old / breaking.. getting 10-25mbps on a 100mbit connection.. Is most likely something on their end. Call a tech out.

I have been talking to them via email and they said everything at their end is good. The router does look old and someone told me it was a shitty one.

remove router.
connect to modem directly
does speed increase?

The router is the modem. And yeah it is faster directly plugged in but my provider told me that is normal.

What modem/router are you using?

also whats your wifi card/nic since your wireless.
how far are you from device
how many walls betwene you and the device.

Netgear cg3000d.



I don't know that means.

I am like 12-15 feet away with one wall separating me from it.

download speccy and run it

Do you know if you're using 2.4ghz or 5ghz wifi?

Just drill a hole in the wall & run a line to your pc lol
