hi,
Recently act upgraded my plan to 150 Mbps. They did change the cable to cat 6 . When the cable is wired directly to my desktop I can see the full 150 but via the router I get only around 90 or so. I have a Linksys e900 and evidently this is a router that cannot support the 150 speed. My questions are
1. If I don't care much for my wifi speed, is there a ethernet switch I can use to make sure that my desktop will see 150. This is also due to the fact that I don't want to invest in a new router. If so what hardware should I buy?
2. If I do intend to upgrade the router what should I purchase? Act themselves give the ac1200 Netgear r6220 but their prices are bad. Is that a good router? Does anyone have experience with it and will it deliver the promised 150? If not what router would you suggest I buy
Please advice as I am unable to utilise the upgraded speed and I do want to resolve this asap. So please do help me out.

PS : act has been very unhelpful in this regard, their support people have no idea about this and their service people barely answer. The most frustrating customer support experience
