Most of this is already in the thread, but here goes: What I have is the 2nd generation AirPort Extreme (A1143) that is draft N and can run 2,4 or 5 Ghz but not simultaneously. The property to cover is 1151 sqft with several concrete walls. You can see the layout in the original post. Most...

Could the capacity be increased by exchanging my current router for another one as well. I get that several APs would be better, but I probably won't have my current router (since I'm only borrowing it) so I'm gonna have to buy a new router anyway. I guess I still have the option to get a router...

So I did some more "iperfing" with running iperf in server mode on the clients. Iperf was run with "-t 30". Running it simultaneously on three devices generated the following results (locations according to map in original post in parenthesis): (1): 8, 10 10 (4): 5, 3, 3 (5): 23, 22, 20 Two...

Do I understand you correctly that it's only the actual use of b/g that slows down the network. And that simply having the router in b/g compatibility mode for the occational guest with b/g device or such wouldn't affect performance except for when said guest was using the network?

Fix #3: Don't Connect Draft 11n and 11b/g clients to the same router Is there any way to reduce this effect, or any specific router that has less speed reduction by this? Would for example a 3-stream router handle it better than a 2-stream?

Oh, I see. Will do that. But how can I test servers simultaneously?

For some odd reason, it's not possible to select g-only with the A1143 and current firmware, choices are: 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) 802.11n only (2.4 GHz) 802.11n (802.11a compatible) 802.11n only (5GHz) Since I do have a few g devices i guess I have to stick with the first...

At the moment I only want to get a new router, but I will HAVE to get one at the end of summer. I've been looking at the R20000G, although I haven't found it in any store that is nearby or that has resonably-priced shipping to Sweden.

I'll do the tests with iperf as soon as I get home. I get that clients can be the problem, but I guess that would mostly be for the computer at location (2). The MacBook Air in (1) generally has good connectivity, although the network speed is generally too slow for streaming high-bitrate HD...

Dear SmallNetBuilders, I'm about to upgrade my (old) router to something a bit more up to date. While I don't mind spending a good amount on doing so, I don't want to buy more than I need. I currently live in a medium-sized appartment (107 sqm / 1151 sqft) with about half the walls being...
