How to get better internet speed?

Question

I have Comcast's most basic Internet plan, and when someone watches anything on Netflix, the Internet becomes slow. I tried using an Ethernet to reduce any range issues from the router without any help. Would a different router help this, or is it simply the provided speed that is an issue? Whenever I play games while someone is on Netflix, my ping maxes out and the game becomes unplayable...quite frustrating.

Answer 1

It actually don't matter about the router. You will only get what ever speed your provider sends to your modem. The only way I know to get faster internet is to call your provider and ask if they have a faster internet plan.

Actually, if you want to improve WiFi performance,you can just try a repeater or extender. And you even can DIY a booster just with a beer can. It's very easy to increase signal bars to 4-5,http://www.mywifirouter.me/blog/making-a-wifi-booster-with-a-beer-can/
