Re: Well I think I'm Happy With Barrie's 150/10 Upgrade!

What router do you have? A lot of routers don't have the WAN-LAN throughput to do that.

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.

Any suggestions on really good routers right now?

The Asus 56 and 66 are well thought of. Here is a graph of the WAN-LAN throughput that I was mentioning: »www.smallnetbuilder.com/ ··· rts/view

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

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!
