    Best network solution for my situation

    Beats me, that's just what they said, something about the speed could fluctuate a little, but havn't noticed a thing. I'm renovating some bits of my new office atm. And about the old modem/router, I just thought, well most devices I own only support the 2.4 GHz. But I mostly need an acces...

    Best network solution for my situation

    I was just thinking about something else, which could be a solution without spending money at all. :-) Is it possible to use that old modem/router I got from my provider as a "acces point or range extender", instead of another router (like that Asus 68U)? So connecting the old one upstairs to...

    Best network solution for my situation

    Sorry for the late update, last couple of days were a bit chaotic. :-D Glad to hear 80 Mbps is good, it's not that I'm doing something really special, but I do need a decent and stable connection for work, because I'm starting to work from home. Yeah I was thinking about a access point and...

    Best network solution for my situation

    I'm afraid I'll have to stick with them... for now. 80 isn't that bad is it? :-/ I've read something about the consumer protection service who's suing them and other providers for this type of misleading advertising. On the other hand, it's right there on their website, "up to a maximum speed of...

    Best network solution for my situation

    Yeah some progress was made, I was also pleasantly surprised with the upstairs speeds over 2.4 Ghz band. :-) After some more testing I couldn't get higher speeds than 80 Mbps wired or 75 Mbps on the 5 Ghz band. So I've contacted my provider today. So I pay for 100 Mbps with unlimited download...

    Best network solution for my situation

    Ok I couldn't wait so I did a couple of speed test right after I setup the new modem. For some reason most devices are able to find the 5GHz and it shows as the best signal (full 5 bars), but it seems very unstable. My PS4 can't connect to it, while it's just 2m/6,5ft away from the new modem...

    Best network solution for my situation

    Thank you so much for your explanation! 2 months ago I didn't even know the difference between a modem and a router. So I tackled the first point already, I ordered a new modem yesterday from my provider, I'm installing it right now and it is indeed a modem/router combo. We didn't have one with...

    Best network solution for my situation

    Thank you for your answer. I do not own the house I'm currently living in. And I definitely don't feel like spending a fortune to Wifi installations that won't provide me what I need. That's why I was currently planning on buying a router (because I'm not using one at the moment) and just...

    Best network solution for my situation

    I just can't choose between buying a router or a mesh wifi system. I'm moving my workspace to the upper floor, but we don't have a cabled network connection there. (living in a older, regular 2 floor, detached family home) We are a family of 4, so lot's of Netflix streaming, gaming, skyping...
