My cable sticks up through a hole in the floor in my office (what would be the guest bedroom if we were normal people) and is threaded under the particle board (manufactured home). My modem and router sit on a bookshelf next to my computer, and all three are connected physically to each other. Our two TVs are wifi connected to the router, as is our printer and my tablet. We have no buffering problems. I don't know what the speed is on the other devices because it doesn't matter what it is. What matters is that it all works seamlessly. The computer speed is 520.58 download, 42.02 upload, and pings at 17ms to Bonita Springs, according to speedtest.net. We have a 600mbp xfinity internet plan and subscribe to YouTubeTV for hubby's TV-watching pleasure. I use netflix and amazon prime to watch movies and their own branded content on the computer. My modem and router are both owned outright by me, and I've had them for the six-plus years we've been living here.
