Most consumers never upgrade their router, and even if it fails, telcos often send them old and outdated replacements. There's a lot of networks around that are still stuck on older technologies.
- sgerenser 4y agoTrue about never upgrading the router, but I really can’t imagine any cable/telco sending out anything older than 802.11ac at this point. Why would they, it’s just going to cause complaints about “you sold me 100mbit but I’m only getting 33 mbits [on my old 802.11n router]!”
- creshal 4y agoUsually the reply is "we sold you 'up to' 100 mbits, on ethernet, sucks to be you" anyway. And the telcos are emptying their stockpile of old crap before they order slightly less outdated models from the lowest bidder.
