Hi all, just wondering if there would be much noticeable difference upgrading from the Spark Smart Modem 1 to the Smart Modem 3?

Currently on a 300/100 fibre plan with approx ~20 devices online (not always connected online at the same time though).
Current Smart Modem 1 has worked flawlessly except occasionally when gaming (on pc via wifi) the ping will spike increase for a second or two then return to normal.
Would the Smart modem 3 reduce/remove this? Would i also get overall better wifi coverage around the house with it?

Thanks in advance

The only thing that will really improve gaming is to game over Ethernet and not WiFi.

 

Otherwise for a 300/100Mbit plan I doubt you'll notice any improvement. I'd just keep with the Smart Modem 1.
