Will a better modem improve Wi-Fi?
Buying a new modem can offer faster, more reliable Wi-Fi. It can also be the answer if you’re experiencing frequent drop-outs. But it probably won’t speed up your physical internet connection. Slow internet may be caused by other issues too, like the NBN speed tier you’re currently running.
