Optimal Settings for 150/10 Mbps over Wifi in a Multi storey house

I will try Tigerdirect or NCIX and confirm that there is a return policy.

Infact i live so close. I will return it within an hour if it doesn't work. Hopefully it does. Thanks for your help SinShiva .

I have a 2 story home with power line and MOCA mixed in and it works well. Way better than Wfi.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the suggestions. I managed to resolve the issue with a Powerline Set (TP-Link TL-PA6010KIT AV600 Gigabit Powerline Adapter Starter Kit Up to 600MBPS). This cost me 101C$ from NCIX including Tax.

After installing it on the electrical socket directly and connecting to the router using an ethernet cable, I was able to obtain 118.7 Mbps Download and 13.6 Mbps Upload. It also goes into power saving mode if my PC goes to sleep when I am not using it (Usually on 24/7), so that should help. I will keep you guys updated if there are any issues with this device.

I will upgrade my Firmware for the Wifi to the latest firmware from Merlin for RT-N66u later this week. Hope I can get the noise down and get little better speeds this time.

Thanks again for the pointers and information.

Cheers,
Al

Glad to hear. When you have time look into MOCA. It's good info to know if you decide to go with it or help someone who needs it.
