That could depend on multiple factors. Does ATT tell you what your expected speed should be and is that amount higher than you're getting? Then possibly yes. And there's hardline connection speed and wifi speed, which will be different. The further you are from your router,in general, the slower your wifi speed will be at device. This Alien router definitely helped me in that regard with it's superior antennas and extra channels. Are you living in a wifi congested area? You can download free wifi analyzer apps and see how many others are on the same channel as yourself. Wifi congestion can definitely slow you down, which was my issue using an Eeros router. Eeros doesn't allow you to select a channel manually so the Alien router was much better in that regard. You can also get wifi6 with this router. Compatible devices will see an increase in their speed while connected via WiFi. I'd start by figuring out how much speed you're losing from mobile connections. If it looks like you're leaving a lot of speed on the table, it can't hurt to go with the Alien. I love mine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.not sure what your expected speed is, but sounds like you may be limited by your modem. For the most part that is what is going to control your speed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have Comcast or Xfinity I should say and my speeds are comparable to yours. 1000Down in 50 up. I typically get between 750 and about 990 when I’m wired in. With the aliens, and having them connected with a wired backhaul, I get between 470 in about 690 when I do my Wi-Fi speed test. Keep in mind your speed test will vary greatly between whatever app or website you use to check your speed. I also noticed there’s a lot of fluctuation in my Internet speed depending on what time of day I’m testing. From what I see online, if you getting half your speed of Wi-Fi that’s a pretty good outcome supposedly. I question does however because the original Google Wi-Fi with a wired back hall was giving me between 450 and 550.
