Post subject: | Fidelity internet with a gigabit network? |
I just signed up for Fidelity's 15 Meg internet service at my apartment. They have not set it up yet, so I called their technical support line to ask this but they didn't understand. I figure other Rolla students would know. Does anyone know if I can use a gigabit modem and gigabit router with my pre-existing gigabit network and benefit from the speeds on Fidelity's internet? Thanks for any help. |

Having a Gigabit modem will do nothing for you since they've only got a Megabit network.... Also, I'm pretty sure Fidelity requires you to lease a modem from them (it's part of the bill). That said, if you have multiple gigabit devices on your network and you're sharing data between them, having a gigabit router would be beneficial. tldr: Modem: No Router: Sorta |

having a gigabit router is always a good idea, as long as your devices have gigabit ports on them. |

If you have one computer or don't plan on sharing large files between the two, there's no advantage to a gigabit router, it won't do anything to help your internet speeds unless you plan on moving to Japan |
