Wireless router and wifi router are same?difference between them?

Hey guys, im from australia and i have a question about my wifi speed from my wireless router to my iphone.?

  • I used to have a linksys.. but my wifi speeds i was getting on my iphone were very slow.. i couldn't stream youtube, and when i surfed the net it was very slow.. i then bought i new router.. it is a netgear DG834PN it has 6 internal antennas and is supposed to be excellent with wifi.. I have now installed it and i still get the same problem.. with my old router i was getting speeds of about 10-20 kbps.. and now im getting 30-40kbps.. this is very slow and not fast enough to stream youtube.. also i have jailbroken my iphone and the reason i want fast wifi speeds is so i can download movies ect.. but when i go to download them.. my speed for wifi is only 10-20kbps? with my new router.. even though when i used "iNetworkTest" (an app to check your speed on the iphone) it says i was getting 30-40kbps? i have spent countless hours trying to fix this problem.. including ringing up netgear tech support.. changing channels on my router and changing the mtu size to see which channels are the best.. some channels i get a network error and still slow speeds. So PLEASEE if any one can point me into the direction of fixing this problem it would be greatly appreciated

  • Answer:

    maybe its not the router? it could be the phone lagging with so much info going through the processor, i dont know much about jailbreaking iphones since i havent done it to mine but maybe you have to much going on at once and its making the speed of your internet access go down. do you get better speeds when you use the signal of your phone with full bars than the wifi?
