I replaced my R1000 with a DD-WRT flashed Refurb Linksys e1200. I have to say, performance has been amazing (note: WMM must be disabled on the e1200 for optimum wireless performance). I added a third Trendnet HomePlug in my basement that is plugged directly into a PS3. Speedtest shows 21mbps...

It's stable, but remember I've reduced the tx power by half. I ordered a Linkays 1200 to use with two Linksys 1000 routers. I also ordered another Zyxel HonePlug. So far so good.

Thanks again everyone. Day 1 of testing is complete and I have to say this has cured my wi-fi woes. After a few hours of tweaking, here's what I've come up with: -lots of neighboring APs and people streaming Netflix on ch6, so I'm using ch 1 & 11. I initially tried 6 for both and my...

Even if I set each to individual channels (1, 6, 11) and use only half transmit power?

I should receive the HomePlug tomorrow. in the meantime, I noticed that the linksys e900 refurb is $20 on Amazon. I'm tempted to purchase three of them and flash with DD-WRT. I could then place one on each level and use HomePlug for the first and third floor. I've seen mixed responses on...

Original room, however, you may be a genius for the movement comment. Ideally, I'd like to move the router in the middle of the home on the 2nd floor, but cannot due to lack of coax for the modem. How about this: leave the modem where it is and plug it into a HomePlug. Then, plug the router...

It's the room on the 3rd floor on the opposite side of the router. Home was built in 2000, three sided brick, kitchen in the middle of the house on the second floor. At work, we setup an Aruba wireless system with multiple APs and a controller. The controller monitors each client and as...

I performed a deeper analysis and it seems it's just one room that is having the issues. I'm going to purchase a HomePlug and connect a spare router to it. Few questions: -After I connect an additional router to a HomePlug (which is plugged into my main router), will it begin broadcasting a...

Great info, thanks! Cost isn't too big of a concern given our current frustration. It seems like the optimal solution is to continue using the Amped router with two additional routers placed on each floor. So, I'll purchase two additional routers and use HomePlug for each router. Can I...

Overview First post, long time observer. I have a three story, 3,900 SQFT home. About 1,300 SQFT per floor. On the main floor (2nd), I have an Amped R1000 against the far left wall where my entertainment area is (Plasma, RoKu, DECT 6.0 phone, etc). Kitchen is in the middle of the house...
