I’m considering a used Arris s33. Current netgear is an x4 ac3200. I just looked into it more and it’s not as old as I thought. DOCSIS 3.1 as well. I’m assuming it still needs to be upgraded?
I’ll definitely consider the Deco x. The x25 is on sale for $142. X20 for $130. X55 for $150. Should I just go with x20?
Yes, all five bedrooms have an Ethernet connection in the wall. An Xfinity decided to cut the cables out but I just rewired them all. Nobody in the house will use their ports though… they want WiFi. Anyway, yes, I have five connections upstairs. Router is on first floor.
Awesome info. Thank you very much for the response.
Just to be clear, if the current setup covers most of the house and WiFi speeds aren’t important, I shouldn’t just buy more orbi satellites to use with the Orbi router and a new modem to save money? I don’t mind spending the money but the other three people in the house are older men who are watching YouTube and looking at Facebook marketplace. They can’t even be bothered to run Ethernet cable from the wall to the PC’s.
Anyway, thank you for the reply.
I’m honestly not sure. I think it might be. When I play games, my ping is high. I’m not sure if you play anything but battlefield 1 was around 100, even though I think that’s an issue with the lobbies. Arc Raiders is giving me regular network/performance issue icons. I’m getting a ping and packet loss notification multiple times per game.
I’m on xfinity in Massachusetts so it supposed to be one of the top performance providers in the country.
And yeah, I’ll likely ditch the Eero and buy Orbi satellites if I don’t get rid of it all and start with a new system.
