Yes ever-y-body in my neighborhood appears to be on Uverse.

Have you considered the possibility that it's not the router but rather your internet service? What is the advertised maximum speed that you are paying for?

We have U-verse® High Speed Internet Elite (Uverse TV U400)
Downstream speed up to 6 Mbps

6 MB/S isn't enough to support multiple devices like that, at least not well.

How about one TV with the wireless box and one laptop...because sometimes that is all that is running and it is still slow.

Mrs. Gooch · « **Reply #106 on:** June 17, 2015, 03:50:10 PM »

Also, the name says it is Elite so you should be able to run a bunch of devices.

Your internet package advertises rates of 3.1-6 mbps, and that can fluctuate a lot depending on factors beyond your control. If your cable box is actually streaming content through your router, I'd imagine that's pretty bandwidth-intensive.

As you can see, it's actually one of the lower tiers. Plus, AT&T sucks (But that's another story).

If this package sucks so much then why is it called Elite? And why is my AT&T bill so high?

The fact that there are four (4) tiers below that one offered by AT&T is pretty funny, tbh. Mrs. Gooch, I've seen your backsplash; you can afford to treat yourself to a better online experience.

That is just the one that came with the TV400 (which is almost the top cable package except for TV450 which has a bunch of extra channels that we would never watch)......I don't think we specifically picked that internet tier.

I can't tell if you're being serious or if this is all tongue-in-cheek. Anyway, it's safe to say that your internet package is the limiting factor here--not your router.

I had 18Mbps when i lived in MHK with 1 other person. And i thought i had one of the lower packages. i'd look into that more Mrs. Gooch.

Also, shoulda listened to Hemmy...

Its tough to saturate 6mb/s on a home network without torrenting/downloading large files. Normal usage /video streaming won't touch that.

As part of its 2015 Broadband Progress Report, the Federal Communications Commission has voted to change the definition of broadband by raising the minimum download speeds needed from 4Mbps to 25Mbps, and the minimum upload speed from 1Mbps to 3Mbps, which effectively triples the number of US households without broadband access. Currently, 6.3 percent of US households don’t have access to broadband under the previous 4Mpbs/1Mbps threshold, while another 13.1 percent don't have access to broadband under the new 25Mbps downstream threshold.

We aren't generally downloading large files, just watching Uverse through the wireless box and browsing gE or maybe watching through Amazon Prime (which has several times said it isn't getting a signal and has to stop but then when I go back into the show it will start back up again).

So then Saul is saying that a higher speed isn't going to help our issue...
