hey not sure where to put this, but wanted to compare some "stats"
I have Cox internet (not the highest speed available, but one of the mid-tier ones), I have an airport extreme and a motorolla surfboard sb6121.
I just upgraded to the airport extreme, should I upgrade to a 3.0 surfboard?
my stats:
31ms ping
58 Mbps d/l
5.96 Mbps u/l
-
Cox doesn't need a docis 3.0 until like 40ish mbs or something. I had the 50 plan with (I think) the same modem and got high 30's speed and they told me that's about where 2.0 tops out.
So it sounds like you're doing fine relative to your plan. Really up to you.
-
good info.
Another question, is there any use for my old airport wall plug thing? Can I use at as a signal extender or something for downstairs?
-
If you want a 3.0 modem, I just bought one and then 2 weeks later google fiber became available and I'm getting it installed this week (and won't need the modem anymore)

depends. if it's an 802.11n model, yes you can use it to extend the network. if it's an 802.11b model, you can attach it to the network (for airplay and junk) but not extend.

yeah it appears to be the n version

@hatingfrancis get in here!
if you get a new router don't get a linksys. they used to be pretty good but are straight junk now. netgear is the only way to go right now.
-
If I am close enough to maxing out my performance, I won't upgrade.
-
I have linksys :(
-
I have like the baller cox plan and it is fast as crap as far as I know.
-
I also have a 6190 surfboard that I'm pretty positive is overkill but it wasn't much more expensive than the 6141 and I wasn't going to risk it.

And like a monster alien stealth ship ASUS router that's like literally good as far as I can tell

Is this something that I can plug in to my airport extreme and then use like my personal dropbox?
-
Man, you should really ask gE.com before you make purchases like this. If you can, take that THING back and order this. I guarantee you will thank me later.

I’ve been using their internet services for a long time now. In the beginning, everything worked well and I never faced any problem but when they last updated their network, everything suddenly seemed to work slow. Downloading and uploading started taking more time. After checking my router and other things, I checked the speed of my internet over here [removed by saul's Russian crime busting AI] . The speed was terribly low and that’s the reason that I was feeling stuck. I contacted them to solve the problem but when they didn’t take any step I changed my internet services.
