I have an old Belkin F7D4302 v1 w/ Tomato installed. I bought a Netgear R6300 and found it to be only slightly better with range and did not need see any features it had that I needed over Tomato.
SO...
I'm thinking maybe I should return the $150 router and buy a $15 external antenna kit for my Belkin.
Inside my single level home all is perfect, I'm trying to extend across the street to the park which is unusable with the Belkin but works so-so with the Netgear.
Question: will I get much farther range outside the house to the park & if yes, what strength DB should I use?
btw, there are no physical obstructions outside at all - totally open air. I really need to get about a 20-30 foot larger diameter to cover the park are I want.
thanks for the help!
