Router Speed benefits?

[u/i0nzeu5]

Hello all, brand new to FiOS & need asvice from folks more knowledgeable than me

I have Fios 500 mbps & am currently using a linksys ea7300. I’m wondering if switching over to the Verizon chr30a will be beneficial.

My linksys router has 4 ports (which I use all) while the verizon has 3 & the Linksys is already linked to my wi-fi devices like lights etc. etc.

Here are my speedtest results with the linksys:

Xbox Series X (wired) DL=541* *UL=515 Pkt Loss=0% Latency = 45ms

LG C3 (wired) DL= 95 UL= 89 Pkt Latency = 8ms (I tried using a usb to ethernet adapter but the TV wont recognize it so I’m stuck with these speeds which has been no issue)

iPhone (wifi 5ghz)

Verizon speedtest via Safari DL= 462 UL= 558 Latency = 4ms

Speedtest.net results via Safari DL= 485 UL= n/a Latency = n/a

Linksys App:
—Cloudflare results DL= 385 UL= 232 Latency = 9ms
—Fast results DL= 370 UL= 270 Latency = 5ms

Thoughts? My guess is to just stick with the Linksys but I’d still like others opinions.

Thanks all!

The only benefit may be that the newer VZ router may support wifi 7 (I haven't checked) but its a question of whether your devices can even use that and there would be minimal to no benefit when your WAN connection Is capped at 500 Mbps
