    TP-Link Archer C8 - signal not strong enough - high gain antenna options?

    I'm not sure that I need a repeater as moving my router about 8 feet provides adequite coverage (without moving it, coverage is insufficient) but moving it that 8 feet isn't a viable permanent spot for the router. So I was thinking maybe some high gain antennas might do the trick. Can anyone...

    5ghz band not enough reach (Netgear R6220) - What router/setup do you recommend?

    No, that's just how signals tend to perform at higher frequencies. It doesn't explain why or how it works.

    5ghz band not enough reach (Netgear R6220) - What router/setup do you recommend?

    Staying reliably connected to the network. The 5ghz band has a much sharper cut off - moving 2-3 feet can mean the difference between 30+Mbps downlink and 0 Mbps (disconnected). Unfortunately all the 2.4ghz routers I've tried have performed very slow on the download speed, I'm not sure what...

    5ghz band not enough reach (Netgear R6220) - What router/setup do you recommend?

    EDIT: I'm looking to spend under $100 street price unless I would see a SIGNIFICANT real-world wireless performance improvement. The 2.4ghz band appears to be saturated around my house as internet speeds are very slow on my 2.4ghz N router (TP-Link TL-WR841ND) as well as the 2.4ghz band of a...
