Hello.
Rural Hawaii barely has cell phone service all over the Island, let alone fast internet, and many people live in paradise without internet faster than 56k. The tradeoff is acceptable, overall.
We (our family) have one of the faster connections here with a paltry 5 mb download and 1mb upload speed with Oceanic's Road Runner.
I'd like your help in working with with such a meager connection and picking a router which best serves our purposes, such as:
~ Lots of people around our new place have Time Warner's Road Runner internet and perhaps it's wise to get a router with a frequency that is not common? I don't know much about this so please advice.
~ I'd like to print wireless on a bluetooth enabled wireless printer. Also, We have a warehouse which is quite large so I'd like our devices to be able to connect inside the warehouse. So decent range is important.
However, top achievable speed, overall reliability and a steady connection are much more important.
~DO I need to create a Wireless Access Point for devices or is the wireless router itself an access point for other devices like ipad, iphone, etc?
~ I'd like to stream netflix.
~$100 tops seems like a good budget but I'd reconsider if a wireless router really stood out for our needs
I think that does it, Thanks for your input!
Aloha,
demi
