    PCSPECIALIST New Router??

    Ok so plan B hasn’t gone to plan at all, if anything it’s worse. Even though I have the router setup were VM hub is and a node central to the house, signal strength and speed tests and some devices is actually somehow worse… looks like I’m better if centrally placing the previous router in the...

    PCSPECIALIST New Router??

    PCSPECIALIST New Router??

    Do you think the setup I suggested is a bit overkill for what I currently have? I basically need to make sure I have enough Ethernet ports, so even if there was a cheaper option I’d have to buy a Ethernet switch as well to accommodate what I need to be plugged in.

    PCSPECIALIST New Router??

    My main problem now is my download speed on my iPhone, it’s an 12 pro and before I got the router I’d get 300 on average. Now I’m connected to the new router I’m at 50… have no idea why there is a massive drop.
