Will this increase your internet speed?

This card will help you better use the speed of your local network...assuming your network supports 100 or 1000Mbps. Your Internet speed is set by your Internet Service Provider (ISP, like Verizon, Comcast and a host of others). For example, if your ISP service is 10Mbps download and 5Mbps upload, then the best Internet speed you will see will average ~80% of what the ISP claims (8Mbps with spikes that might go over 10). If you are running a local network with routers that support 1000Mbps and other computers on this LOCAL network ...then your interaction with those local computers will benefit from this card. In summary, your Internet speed is governed by the slowest part...which is almost always the speed provided by your ISP.

This is a network card that will achieve gigabit speed. If you have a Cat 6 or Cat 5e cable and a switch capable of running at a gigabit you will run at a gigabit to that switch. Your Internet router is the next step. That connects you to your ISP. The answer to your question is maybe but only if you were running very slow to your router before you installed the card. This card is not a magic bullet and won't automatically make your Internet connection faster. It's only one part of the equation.

It does not increase the internet speed, but because it processes the rf signal through Ethernet faster it is effectively faster than on the motherboard card Ethernet.You will notice an increased speed at downloading or uploading.

This question is old but no one has really answered it correctly. Your connection to the internet is limited to 25Mbs by your isp (comcast) this product will not speed up your internet access beyond the restrictions set by the isp (25Mbs). However this powerline adapter is rated to perform at a theoretical speed limit of 500Mbs that means that any communication between two nodes (computers) connected by these adapters can achive a theoretical top speed of 500Mbs.

As long as you have a sata connection you will really see the speed increase

The simple answer is yes. For a longer explanation though, your router doesn't have much effect on either of those. Generally speaking, all routers do is help you secure and control how your home network functions. What will actually determine how well you can do such activities is the internet package you have with your internet service provider. Higher maximum download speeds will make sure most problems with using those services, if any issues do arise, are not on your end.Basically, if everything's already working fine, no you don't need it.

Patrick is correct, see below.... This will boost your wireless signal only (to improve wireless range) has nothing to do with your operating system.

if verizon is your phone service then NO - this only boost your wi fi signal - not your phone service

It should not make it slower if you plug in three or four ethernet cables. However, it doesn't matter what brand router switch you buy, the overall internet speed will decrease because you're using up bandwidth from your provider.

Jeff,The booster will not increase bandwidth, just give you extended range. Even at optimal conditions, funneling all your traffic (skype & internet for multiple users) through a cellular connection is questionable. Your biggest issue is whether you have 3G or 4G service. If 4G, you may be able to do what you want. Also, if you're using video over skype it uses a LOT of bandwidth and will slow ever other user of the connection to a crawl.If you have 3G only service, I would say forget it.

It depends on why you are getting the lag. If it is due to your internet providers slow level of service then...no. You didn't specify what X-BOX you have either so all the simple "yes" and "no" answers aren't going to answer you question anyway. If your box has "G" or "N" wireless built in with at least WPA security then the answer is certainly no. Your box is already capable of the best speed it can get from your end.

Mine did increase the speed but not to true USB3 speed. Worth the investment, gives about 1.5 times speed increase.

By itself, no. It merely boosts signal range. You'll want to get a wifi card or USB wifi stick to plug into a USB port if you don't have built in wireless internet.

Generally, yes. It supports up to 38Mbps speeds. You should contact your ISP to verify.

I Have Not Noticed any Change in Internet Speed Before or After the Swap From Old Netgear Firewall to New Netgear Firewall... The Main Reason for Change was Gigabit Backbone...

If your compute is the same as mine (ie acer) then it should improve your speed quite significantly. My computers operating system flooded all of the current memory, so when I added more memory it made a significant difference. Again, if your computer is the same as mine, you should have an additional slot to add this memory - so you will only be getting an improvement.

Yes, this will help if you have a low signal level getting to your modem. If you don't have too low a signal level then it will do nothing useful. In other words if your signal is lower than about (negative) -13dBmV this may help. If it's higher it won't.

It won't slow it down. The speed of your internet connection is the determining factor of how quickly you can download something. This router will NOT be the weak link in your chain!

I do not know specifically that answer I have calbe internet and it made no difference to the network performance. But if you are using a phone interface you may see some bandwidth demand.
