Hi all just bought a Samsung smart tv and want a really good modem so I can stream video my current modem is very slow and watching video sent ftom my mobile is rubbish iam with aol (and can't leave) so what modem do you all recommend. Thanks

I suspect that there is nothing wrong with your modem/router.
Look up how to find your router line statistics and post them.

Wireless link speed is 54 mbps that's all I know

You need to log in to the router and obtain this information:-

These are my router stats.

hope one of these are correct info you asked for

penrhyn

Your connection is just over 4Mbps which should be fine for streaming standard definition content.
Your line attenuation of 54db means that the best speed you could expect would be around 4 -5 mbps which is what you are getting.

I'd suggest using a wired connection between the router and the TV.

PS Try rebooting the router and retaking the stats.
Is your router plugged in the master socket?

dave030445

yes pluged into master how do you found out the wireless speed because that wont be a fast. thinking of going to talk talk fibre optic

As penrhyn asked, are you using a wired connection from the router to the TV?

I have a Samsung smart TV connected by LAN lead to a router that is performing with similar output as yours and video streaming from IPlayer, 4OD, Netflix, YouTube is first class. No buffering delays once the programme has started.
