Internet usage:
-Regular streaming on Fire TV and smart TV
-Occasional Kodi usage on Fire TV
-2 phones, 2 laptops, 2 tablets - rarely all used simultaneously
-Echo & PS4 usage also

I currently pay for 100mbps, but my shitty router spits out 10-15mbps consistently.

I was previously "borrowing" a friends router while he went overseas for a year, and that badass thing was spitting out 100+mbps consistently.

Anything around $100 or less that will get me back to those speeds?

TIA

I have this router from Netgear; currently on sale for $69 (normally $100).

With Cox 300, I normally pull 250 down/30 up non-wired on the 5 Ghz band. As long as you have a good docsis 3.0 modem, you shouldn't have any issues pulling/exceeding your max bandwidth.

Have you tried splitting 2.4ghz bands and 5ghz bands then putting each on a frequency that doesn't have much interference from other neighboring networks?
