    Connecting 2 houses 800 feet apart

    I'm hoping to get speeds of close to 1Gbps. I was thinking of some sort of fixed wireless, such as Ubiquiti equipment.

    Connecting 2 houses 800 feet apart

    I'm wanting to connect two buildings that are about 800 feet apart. There are trees in between, but no ground or anything else. When trees are bare, I can see the lights of one house from the other. I'm trying to get as fast a wireless connection as possible to transfer large files. Could...

    MOFI4500 with Verizon 4G LTE SIM - sometimes websites don't load, but ping works

    Hi there, I have a MOFI 4500 modem/router with a Verizon SIM in it. I have a Windows 10 laptop connected with a network cable. I'm experiencing a weird problem where seemingly randomly, webpages will not load completely, some won't load at all, some will take a long time to load. Also speed...

    Looking for a router I don't have to reset every few days!

    Thanks for the replies! My Internet speeds are 5/5, and hopefully will be getting faster soon (maybe 20/5). The main features I want, aside from stability, are good QoS and a guest wireless network.

    Looking for a router I don't have to reset every few days!

    I have two Linksys WRT-54G routers. One I flashed to DD-WRT, the other to Tomato. Both of them seem to fail over time -- can't access their web UI, Internet gets slow, can't ping the router. I do have a lot of users -- ~20 PCs, ~10 smartphones, and ~15 SIP phones. I'm looking for...

    Buying a powerful router/AP for three-story house

    Currently, I do have one router acting as a router (and DHCP server). All the rest are acting as APs only. I have tried two approaches: Having separate SSIDs for each router, so you can manually connect to whichever you're closest to. I've also tried setting the APs to the exact same SSID...

    Buying a powerful router/AP for three-story house

    Would a typical laptop with wifi be considered a low-power device? I understand phones and tablets might not have the best wifi reception, but if my main goal was to have good coverage for a laptop, would a super router help at all? Or are we still talking the same thing, where it doesn't...

    Buying a powerful router/AP for three-story house

    Thanks! I'm going to read up on some of the great materials here on the site. By the way, any favorite pieces of equipment for a router + AP(s) solution like you recommend? Also, in your opinion, would high-gain or larger antennas make any difference? For instance, the Linksys WRT54Gs...

    Buying a powerful router/AP for three-story house

    Thanks for the replies. Other than the networks in the house, there is only one other WiFi network that I can ever detect -- it's a neighbor's house a few hundred feet away. Even when I do detect it, it's a weak signal. I do have DD-WRT on one of the routers and actually Tomato on two of...

    Buying a powerful router/AP for three-story house

    I'm very interested in getting a router for my large (three-story, 80x30) house, and I'm trying to choose between the Ubiquiti PowerAP-N and the Amped Wireless R10000, as they seem to be very well-regarded. I'm open to another router, but it seems these have good marks. I should be able to...
