We are using the internet more than ever before, which is why maximizing your internet speed will give you a better overall experience. All West’s golden rule to faster internet is having the right router for your internet plan. Your router is the gateway to your internet service providers network and if it is not designed for your connection, it can hinder or slow down your speed. Not all routers are designed for all speeds and routers 3 years and older are not as compatible when connecting to newer devices. When shopping for a router, we recommend looking for: - A router that is compatible with your internet speed. Not all routers can handle all internet speeds. If your internet plan has 300 Mbps and your router can only handle 100 Mbps, you will be missing out on 200 Mbps of speed. - Wi-Fi signal range. If you live in a large home or have multiple levels, your internet signal may weaken as you get further away from your router. Choose a router with a strong signal or wi-fi extender system to reach every corner of your home. - Choose a router that is dual-band or more. Dual-banded routers allow you to broadcast your wireless signal on two frequencies. These frequencies can range from 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz. This helps reduce congestion on your home network which means you get more bandwidth. **Want a router that checks all of these boxes and more?** All West takes the guess work out of getting more speed with their managed wi-fi system, Plume.
