Kane Hart posted : TBH, I'm not much worried about WIFI Speed but WIFI Distance. This new modem as shown in the picture above from rogers is the worst wifi modem I have ever had. Like 15 feet away in my room the connection keeps fluxuating like crazy.

technocar2 posted : Its actually ~300Mbps the 250-270Mbps is simply an average between 300 and 150Mbps. Rogers is maintaining a 300Mbps standard. Obviously you won't get 300Mbps during peak hours but off peak every modem can pull 300Mbps more or less because that's the max a on 8 channel bonding. That's a pretty high standard if you ask me, I just hope they don't drop the ball on this.

Ree posted : Thanks for that. I don't like the range on the Hitron so I'll probably be buying a router in the near future, and that'll help me eliminate the crap!

Any suggestions on really good routers right now?

The Netgear WNDR4500 or if you have many smart devices [iphones, tablets, smart TV, etc.] the Netgear R6300.

I'm on extreme plus so this router should be good for awhile still.

So I guess that means that you are using the Rogers gateway as your router as well. Many people put this gateway in bridge mode and only use it as a cable modem as they prefer their existing router.

I actually need to replace my router. Using the old old linksys with custom firmware but its 10/100 router so clearly can't use that for top speeds.

Ree posted : Yeah just got 150/10 here last week too. 260Mb/s is just speedboost in action, but even after it "wears off" still getting almost 20 megabytes/second is pretty sweet!

And uploading is awesome too...my upstream is now twice as fast as my downstream was this time last year (5mbit from Teksavvy)

Kane Hart posted : IDK why I had complained a lot and had nothing but bad service this past month. Just getting the modem was just insane. But for some reason I was rewarded really well and it seems to be constant too. When I download my backup's from my server omg...

ran it again wtf:
