We're a family of 4, who are planning to buy a new Wi-Fi.
Why?
Because our current one just can't stand anything.
I can give you an overview of what everyone is doing:
• gaming (computer)
• 2 people Netflix (at the same time, at least often)
• And the conventional surfing on the Internet or send a WhatsApp message.
I would have found a Wi-Fi with up to 150 Mbit / s download and with up to 20 Mbit / s upload.
Would that be enough?
We all don't know each other so I wanted to ask here!
How much DSL bandwidth is there?
Even a gigabit WLAN is of no use to you if the router e.g. B. Only 25 Mbit / s DSL arrive.
It depends on how good or fast your bandwidth is. If it is high enough, you can go to any provider.
New Wi-Fi? 🤣😅😂🤣😅😂
You probably think that you want to get a new DSL connection.
First of all, you should / have to check when you can get out of the existing contract.
Then you should make an availability check, which speed is possible at all.
I would go to the homepage of t-online.
Furthermore, you should check whether you also have the option of a cable connection (fiber optic).
It is best to carry out an availability check via Vodafone (Kabel Deutschland took over).
If possible, I would take a connection with at least a 200 speed.
I would be interested in your current internet line?
Normally a 50Mbit / s line should suffice for this
-> The quality should of course be right, which is why I recommend an optical fiber connection
and hardware side a Fritz box with possibly one or more Fritz repeaters eg Reapeater600,
which builds a mesh network
-> In my opinion, this is the best solution that you can imagine…
Of course you can also use a 100Mbit / s or 150Mbit / s line, which in my opinion, however, as I said, is not absolutely necessary
-> but a certain buffer is always "nice to have" and the downloads go faster.
Check via the web interface on your DSL router which DSL bandwidth is available there, or in a contract with your DSL provider.
For your understanding:
The WLAN is only the radio connection within the house that forwards and distributes the data that arrive at the DSL router. Here in Germany that's often a Fritz! Box or a speed port from Telekom.
This router in turn receives the data via DSL from the Internet. This DSL bandwidth in megabits per second, Mbit / s or Mb / s (large M, small B) is the measure of the amount and speed of the incoming data.
So if your internet connection is too slow for you, the first thing you have to do is check the contract with your internet provider. A change from the same provider to a "larger" contract is usually no problem. When changing providers, notice periods must be observed, usually three months before the end of the contract.
It's pretty wrong to laugh at someone who says they have little idea.
Especially since you hardly follow him:
"[…] That you want to get a new DSL connection. […]"
You make contracts, no connections, or maybe even locks.
Since you don't know your way around, I'm going to assume that this is not about Wi-Fi, but about the internet connection to your house.
50Mb / s should be sufficient for the listed applications. More does not hurt, of course, but in some cases it could cost more. The question is also how the devices are connected. If they are all connected via Wi-Fi, there may be problems with 150Mb / s. All devices that have the option should be connected by cable. Wi-Fi is more of an alternative to cables.
And well, a new WLAN might not be bad if the current one is not so good. New WLAN means placing a few APs where there's no WLAN. Repeaters and DLAN adapters don't bring much. They tend to create new or the same problems.
I would have found a Wi-Fi with up
150 Mbit / s download and with up
20 Mbit / s upload.
Is that right from Vodafone? Did you inquire once on their website whether that even arrives at your house? That would be another question. If you are in the village, it may be that only a telecom or htp line leads to you. Then you should also go to Telekom or htp. Otherwise the internet may get worse. Respectively. If there's only one htp line running to you, there's no other way anyway. HTP does not rent the line to other providers.
I don't apologize for that.
The thank you was probably for the information, not for laughing.
A broadband cable connection would also be considered, if available.
