    Access point options for home network

    I have a 1-story, 1,890 square foot home with the TP-Link Archer C9 router in the middle of the house (in the laundry room).

    Hey all, So I just got AT&T fiber internet installed today, 300 mbps up and down. I set the gateway up for IP passthrough, so I could use my TP-Link Archer C5 (with OpenWRT) instead of the unit AT&T provided. My wireless throughput over the LAN averages between 45-50 MB/s (360-400 mbps)...
