Thanks a lot for the info :) interesting to know how other people setup their network. Some good news.. I'm getting stupid fast speeds on 2.4Ghz with about a 55dB connection.. 95Mbps down, maxes out my upload at 36Mbps. I have no idea how this is possible, yesterday when i first set it up I was...

I'm going to buy a router regardless I think. It'll take a while to get someone out to see if they can install it anyway. How much did the cisco AP setup set you back? sounds expensive...

I'm tempted to give up on a router and pay someone to go into the crevasses of my 106 year old house to run a patch lead to upstairs :p So many spiders and bugs help

Unfortunately, there are no power points between the router & upstairs. I tried using one and connecting it straight to my PC, but the speeds were worse than what I get using the wireless adapter

So unfortunately, the 3150 isn't really giving me a range improvement. At close range it's nearly twice as fast, but it's essentially the same where I need to it to reach. Upon looking at the latest reviews & tests, it seems my best bet is actually the R7000. The tests indicate it can provide...

Thank you for your input :) I wish I could run an ethernet cable upstairs, but it's not really possible. I also tried using a high end AV2 Powerline kit which did not work as my house uses multiple lines.

Thank you Pete!! Those are some really nice results for 2.4GHz at 25 meters through walls!

I use a pretty solid 450Mbps (2.4Ghz only) TP Link PCI adapter, a 2016 MacBook Pro and a Google Pixel, so none of those should be an issue. I have considered using an AP, but all available options seem to have much shorter range than a BHR unfortunately. I decided I'm going to give the TP...

Thank you for your input! Yeah, I thought 5Ghz might have been too much to ask... I'm thinking about buying an Archer C3150 to use on the 2.4Ghz band with a 1900AC PCI-E adapter. I just hope it'll actually bring me improved reliability compared to my N300 setup. It's a fair amount (350AUD) to...

Thanks for the suggestion, looking at the SNB reviews it seems the range was about the same between the ac1900 and c3150 over long distances, but I'm strongly considering giving it a try regardless. I don't understand how I can currently get a strong, decent connection on 2.4Ghz band at like...

Hello all :) I'm trying to upgrade my wireless speeds that I get in the upstairs area of my house. The router is located downstairs through many double brick walls. I'm currently using a Netgear dual band N600 router, and I'm using 40Mhz bandwidth on the 2.4Ghz channel to reach upstairs with a...
