Router that can handle 400MB

[Dave]

Hi can anyone recommend a router that can handle a 400MB internet connection?

My current Netgear R6400 only seems to be able to hit around the 240MB mark even over CAT6.

Just upgraded from 100MB to 400MB so it hasn't been an issue until now.

Any AC1750 or higher wireless router will work. I use a TPLink Archer C9 that works great for a condo environment. Here are some other suggestions: https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-wi-fi-router/

What Modem do you have?
Have you connected a PC to the Modem directly, no Router, via wired connection, and done some tests to ensure you actually are getting the speeds you're paying for?

most modems have a router in them

contact the isp to see if its capable of the speeds

if its any good its own router will be able to handle that kind of speed

eles, you can disable the modems routing and get a good dedicated one
or as bad suggests, connect it directly to a pc to see if can reach its advertised speed

cat5e vs cat6+ make no difference if the modem/router/pc have gigabit ports
you need 10g devices to make use of cat6+

but most isps when they say their max speed, its a burst to that speed, then throttled
for most things, ping is more important than peak dl speed

I connected my PC directly to the modem and get the full 400MB. Bought a new Nighthawk AC2300 and it works great.
