Hello guys,
looking for a little advice,
i currently live in the styx, away from my local exchange and can only get 2 mb broadband :0(

anyways, i have loads of devices on my home network,

my current setup is, adsl router modem wifi downstairs>powerline>powerline upstairs>wifi router for upstairs>router for tv cabinet, all these connections are hard wired,

i have tv's xbox one, NAS, multiple pc's skybox, iphones, tablet upstairs connected to the wifi,
and a couple of pcs downstairs,

now i notice some lag, so upgraded my powerlines to 1gb ones, belkin and have 2 belkin routers gigabit ethernet n600 coming,

as the 2 upstairs routers will be wired to the downstairs one, and the downstairs router/modem is only 100mbps, and as that provides dhcp to other devices, will my network run at 100mbps downstairs and 1gbps upstairs, or will it all be hindered by the slower router/modem?

do i need a better router modem to benefit from 1gbps?

thanks in advance..
 
Hiya mate i think youve answered my question, the adal router will be an ee one 10/100,

Looks like ill need to update it to a gigabit one... I may as well seen as im replacing my two other routers for new gigabit ethernet ones, ive just upgraded powerlines from 200mbps to 1gbps belkin ones


Any reccomendations for a cheap router sub £30 on ebay that will suffice?cheers
 
Right guys currently have a dgn2000 router modem 100mbps connected cat 5e to powerline 1gbps, to upstairs powerline 1gbps, connected to belkin f7d4301 1gpbs via cat6 which has my nas cat6/pc cat6/wifidevices (iphones/tabelt) connected, then via cat6 to another f7d4301 1gbps router which has the telly/xbox/sky/bluray connectes with wifi turned off.


I bought 2 routers as they were cheap i got the pair off ebay for £29 for the pair.

I havent got the belkin routers yet but this is my preferred setup,
At this juncture im only concerned that upstairs runs fast as i rarely show downstairs,

Ive upgraded the belkin powerlines from 200mb to 1gb and it appears to be much quicker.

So will i have to go the whole hog and upgrade the router modem to a gigabit one to make upstairs run at 1gbps??

Ive noticed lag accross the original 100mbps upstairs network when streaming video from pc to tv, or from nas to pc etc, especially when my pc's doing live filesaves to my nas.

Thanks peeps
 
So to confirm there are some
Devs upstairs connected to thenrouters by either 100mbps cat 5 and gbps cat6,
And all major deviced ie routers and powerlines are connected via cat 6 to gigabit ports witht the exception of the downtairs modem/wireless router which is connevted via 100mbps as it doesnt have the gigabit ports
