Should I Replace My Old Wired Cable Router?

"I am a bit confused when you are comparing Lan speed against Internet speed as Megabits (Mb) are different from MegaBytes (MB).

However, it is very common for ISPs to lie about internet speed and this could be the problem.

I checked and it is a 10/100Mb device. If you are able to get copy speeds of about 12MB across your Lan, that is 96 Megabits and slightly more than I get sometimes when on 100Mb lan.... In this case, it really is your ISP that is the weakest link.

As for upgrading wires, If you are getting near 100Meg speed over the lan, there will be no improvement. I would personally wait for Cat6 cable to become cheap before you upgrade as there is no point investing in Cat5e whilst the demand is degrading and Cat6 is becoming mainstream.

Linksys are good and their devices are built well. Upgrading may get you a better physical device, however, it doesn't seem like you are pushing it to the limits, and I think it is coping well."

"I too have found that my 10Mb wired router does not significantly change my throughput although I now have a secured wireless 100mb router which I also use for my cell and land phones.
I would love to add a point to Molly's answer since it was dead on, but I'm a newbie. Consider the point added."
