hi guys.
my broadband speed always comes up at around 13mbps when checking via wifi on speedtest.net
on my sky routers settings page it states: "DownStream Connection Speed 16228"(is this more? less? if so can i gain the difference back with a better faster router?)
all my devices are new apple devices so support 802.11AC.
so my question is would i actually notice an improvement if i was to use an apple airport extreme connected to my sky router, and turning off the wifi on my sky router? and using the 5ghz band, or is the current wifi speed my mac shows as "tx rate: 145 mbps" mean as its already faster than my 13mbps broadband speed it shows via wifi, getting a faster wifi connection wouldt matter?
i do no file sharing over my network.
ps im a novice
