    RT-AC88U - Getting best download speed on 1.5 gigabit connection

    In your humble opinion, if there is no spouse factor and I do not care about the 5ghz connection. should I really care to keep the media convertor?

    RT-AC88U - Getting best download speed on 1.5 gigabit connection

    Yeah I understand that but how is using a media convertor any different than just setting up PPPOE without the media convertor? Again I had the 2nd test (hh300 with 950mpbs) while modem is setup in PPPOE

    RT-AC88U - Getting best download speed on 1.5 gigabit connection

    interesting, you think you can tell me what made you get a media convertor if it wasn't the speed? I got mine thinking it will drop latency and increase speed but that is not true according to you and the article

    RT-AC88U - Getting best download speed on 1.5 gigabit connection

    Hi, I know this is an old thread but I was hoping to see if anyone has come to a conclusion. I did try the media convertor approach and the pppoe on my hh3000 but nothing 400 down and 780 up (which is faster than the actual speed that bell advertised)
