Hey guys, below is a layout of my home. About 1000 square feet.
Was previously using RT-N66U which was excellent paired with my 100/100 fibre speeds.
Recently got a free upgrade to 500/500 speeds and so i bought a RT-AC68U thinking it'd provide a increase in speed and range.
Unfortunately, the AC68U's range is worse, my phone is getting 1-2 bars in my room, while i'm getting 1 bar in the toilet, often having to switch to my 2.4ghz SSID.
Just wanted to ask for any advice, i've been recommended to get a UniFi AC LR, but that'd mean i'll have to keep my N66U as a router which i can sell for money.
