hey guys!
I’m hoping you lot can teach me and set me on the right path here.
I know virtually nothing about NATs or mesh WiFi and what ac/n speeds I need.
But I currently have a Virgin super hub with 380mb down and 21 upload. My pc, ps4 pro and skyQ are all connected via ethernet to get the best speed.
However when I use my iPad Pro or laptop or any wireless device for that matter, even in the same room, I get 120-140mb. And if I even leave my living room my speeds drop to 20mb or even less!
So do I need to replace it with a decent router to achieve better speeds around my home?
This is where I got myself all confused.
I don’t know if I need something like the amplifi HD mesh kit or TP-Link deco or google whole home
Or do I just replace the superhub with a asus rt 86 or 88? And if I do go this route do I swap out the routers or do I have to do some trickery to set the Virgin into a modem mode and use this as a hub?
Or am I looking to high end and is there something cheaper that will fit my needs. I’m only in a 3 bed semi.
Sorry if I have used the wrong terminology here, trying to learn what I need and what’s best but I’m totally confused!
