I’m currently paying for Internet service through Cox. My current plan says it’s for 250 Mb per second. But when I do speed tests, I never see anything more than about 100.

Suggestions on what I can do to try to maximize my Internet? My current modem/router combo Says it can handle up to 650 Mb per second.

    Refer to the user manual as seen here: https://motorolacable.com/documents/MG7550-UserManual-revB.pdf

    (Page 42)

    Log into your router, and visit the Wireless / Basic tabs for the 5Ghz band. Check your channel width settings.

    If it is at 20Mhz, try bumping it up to 40, and testing your speeds again.

    If it is at 40, try 80.

    (This assumes that your PC is using the 5Ghz band.)

    You can also try this on the 2.4Ghz band, though it’s not recommended to go beyond 40Ghz on 2.4Ghz, especially if you’re in an area with tons of neighboring Wifi routers.
