Keep in mind things like phones and tablets dont have the best range when it comes to WiFi. Speed comes from the quality of the signal and your distance away from it. You will loose speed to gain distance. In a real world case you will only get about 1/2 the speed that the WiFi equipment is...

I have a few final quesitons. A) Moca filters. I know I need one on the main line leading in to the house. Do I need one on the modem? On the Cable boxes? B) I know I need a bonded adapter near my router, so I can ether use the modem line to connect it or the TV line. Im not sure if Im giving up...

Generally in Windows you can choose a preferred SSID to connect to. However on a dual band client you will see both. I would indicate in the SSID the frequency it is. For example I have one network Donut 2.4 and the other is Donut 5Ghz. On my dual band clients I can see them both. Then I just...

Your network works as fast as the slowest device. So if you have wireless G devices 54Mbps is what you will have for speed. And yes, 2.4 and 5Ghz will have their own SSID's. Depending on your router you may have 2 for each frequency, if you have guest networks setup. I would upgrade those...

No, only the bed rooms. It may only be my mom and dads bed rooms at that. Our current setup is a two way splitter coming in to a house, one side used for Modem and the other side goes in to a 4 way splitter, one of those connections Goes to another 3 way splitter. When they go OTA I should be...

WiFi wasn't my choice. That was just what was available. Also, there are only a few networks around me. On top of that, they have too little signal to connect too. Im probably a best case scenario when come to wireless. I just want something that is potentially fast, more reliable in terms of...

We should be getting 75 down 10 up. My wireless is fairly stable, I do get less signal strength during bad weather. As far as testing, my router indicates the speed of the connect as 264M, Im not sure of how to test. According to Speedtest.net I get about 80-90Mbps down and 10-12 up. Part of the...

Bump

My sister paid $100 for hers. Its not a bad router. Has great range from what I seen.

Currently I have a Dlink Dir-835 Dual band Wireless N750 Router. It works, I use 5Ghz and get about 264 Mbps, at least thats the speed my router states. I have a TPlink WND4800 wireless card which is for N900. For a while I have looked in to MoCa. Will I notice any better performance with it...
