Yes it was a recommendation from Urbanfibre getting a router with at least a dual-core CPU. My particular router is a Asus RT-AC1900P which is dual core clocked at 1.2ghz iirc. Which, btw, I'm extremely happy with.

Since I'm in my thread, I figure I should update.

I'm more convinced it's my hardware, but don't have any new computers to test it with. My desktop is >6 years old, and although it says it is gigabit I suspect it can't pull gigabit internet speeds. Case and point- my 1yo Chromebook N and I'm saturating that pipe in a speedtest. Same with my AC OP3 phone (on the 5Ghz band). Something must be up with the desktop if my phone can attain higher internet speeds than my desktop wired in.
