Hi Everyone - I currently have HyperFibre with 2 degrees and I am using the TP-Link Deco M5

 

When I'm connected on ethernet I get about 800 down , but on Wifi I'm lucky if I get 100. only my work PC is ethernet, everything else is on my laptop wifi

 

I spoke with 2degrees and they said because it's Wifi its the router and needs to be replaced.  

 

I only really stream netflix/youtube or The Witcher 3 on GeForce now , but GeForce has been saying connection is slow , streaming seems OK 

 

I was going to get a "NETGEAR Orbi WiFi6 Router" as thats what they sugggested - will this fix my issue? I tried another TP modem but still only got 100 down , when I tried it at my friends house his download speed was also 100 but it worked fine so I'm not sure if I nee hyperfibre from 2degrees?

It also really sounds like you can save some money. You don’t need Hyperfibre. 

 

Hyperfibre won’t help streaming, gaming or anything like that. I actually think 300/100Mbit may be a better fit based on what you’re saying about your needs. 

 

The main problem of GeForce Now saying your connection is slow is due to your setup.
