I went back to my old router for a couple of years then I moved to a Netgear RAXe500 recently and finally was able to coverall the dead spots in my (310...

Router compatibility

I got rid of the frontier provided Eeros and got the Nighthawk Raxe500 and best decision I made, better wifi all around and option to choose which band I use.

NBN splitting

Internet faster when doing speed test

One possibility is that, I think your device is connecting to 2.4 GHz and 5ghz, switching by itself. Try separating the network and Maybe try using 5ghz connection only. Also think about range. If your further away, speed will drop lower. If you want high speeds with long range. Think about getting ...

I expect and would be happy my au$800...

For our computers, TVs, and dedicated streaming devices ( Roku, smart tv ) where speed is important I us...
