Want to upgrade wired/wireless to match 1 gigabit speeds
I have 1 gigabit internet I upgraded to about 6 months ago and the upgrade was huge in real life performance especially bandwidth/ping. The speeds never get throttled and my house is full 4-5 people on 1 router. BUT..... My download speeds are meh compared to the budget basic internet package. I know my PC is somewhat out of date on hardwire as its a software updated 2013 model. My ethernet is a Realtek PCI FE 10/100 setup and my wireless is a basic 802.11n Broadcom.
Right now I'm wired with a ethernet cable capable of more than I can through at it. My router is a 2.4/5 ghz router and I think reach 750 Mbps, not sure on exact speeds. The tech at the house said he got 900 Mbps wired.
So from my understanding I have 3 options for upgrades.
1. Ethernet Adapter
2. Usb Dongle
3. 802.11AC Internal mini half card
Just want to fix my bottleneck as its my computer. Service, Router, and wiring/location are great
