My friend has the Cisco Linksys E3000. Before he had that router he was using an old Linksys...
dont remember the model but it was cheap. He's running optinum Boost. Threw speedtest.net he was getting like only 25mbps down 5mbps up. Now with his new router he was getting 145mbps down and about 5mbps up. And then it expanded to 322.93mbps down. I'm so confused.. how is that possible? I thought ISP's limit your bandwidth.. can a router really push the speeds that much? I'm currently running fiber optics 25/25mbps from verizon. when I test threw speedtest.net I get about 45mbps down and 30mbps up. I have the Actiontec MI424-WR Rev.D.. which actually seems to be a modem/router with wifi. If i purchase the Cisco Linksys E3000 will my internet speeds increase? Or is there something I'm missing? I'm confused as to how he has a slower internet package then me and is getting so much faster download speeds just from a router... please help. I'm about to spend a lot of cash out of total awe to find out if my connection will speed up lol... and yeah I'm a PC gamer so connection is a biggie for me. Also if it help's I have up to 4 people running on my modem.. which like I said has it's own built in router.
