Internet speed upgraded - new router?
I have Spectrum internet. A couple of years ago they upgraded the speed from about 25 mbps to 100 mbps. All worked well, and the increased speed was welcome.
Today I got a letter telling me that their internet speed has been increased to 200 mbps. Oh good.
I reset the modem and tested the speed. Hmm. It looks like it's still at about 100. The router is a Cisco WRT120N. I use that one because it's wireless N and I had thought the LAN ports were gigabit, but apparently not.
They said they would let me know if I needed to upgrade the modem (for free), but I'm thinking I'll need to upgrade the router, too. Any suggestions?
ETA: Connected directly to the modem, and sure enough I get download speeds of about 220 mbps. So, I guess it's off to the router store.
