“What would be the minimum speed via DSL to justify buying a X6? Could a X6 provide users a noticeable increase in speeds from an ATT DSL connection? Some of us have few choices when choosing an ISP. We have the 'best' available in this area with little hope for an upgrade so we need to squeeze the most out of existing connections. This is for a normal household with multiple devices. Some can be Ethernet but most wireless. Distance is not a primary issue. Lightning took out the nighthawk R7000, Now looking for a replacement .”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The speed from your DSL is increased by your service provider and the modem connect to it. This router would connect to the modem itself. You will notice a speed increase between devices if you have a media server in your house. No speed increase from DSL though.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would say it would most definetly raise it but hard to say though. Just replaced my old router with the x6 and my speeds were on average 11 Mbps with the old one. My Isp has a 50 Mbps in my area. And as soon as I installed it did a speedtest and mine went from the originally 11 Mbps to a Great increase to 47Mbps. I have about 8 devices connected to Router no issues at all.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just being honest but that's overkill for DSL but yes it will give you everything your getting without any packet loss. I get 235 mbs down wired and with nighthawk x6 wireless without any loss.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe this was addressed earlier. I found it when rechecking other answers.. I just need to replace the lighting fried one with a similar unit making sure it is a dual band. Some of us in flyover country will be stuck in the dark ages....
