I'll try to give all the details I can think of.
We have Comcast 25MB connection, My modem is a Ubee U013c105 modem. Netgear WNDR 4500 Router. I have an older multi-level house 2 1/2 stories, The router in within 3 feet of the cable modem. The router is placed High in our living room on our entertainment center, roughly 1 foot from the ceiling. The closest wireless computer to it is within 10 feet, The furthest is 30 feet. These measurements do not take into account obstructions such as walls or ceilings. My son has a very nice gaming computer that is on the 2nd level of our house, and probably 10 feet away from the router but it has a ceiling and a few walls between that machine and the router.
The problem is that without cell phones or tablets included we have 3 smart tv's 3 blue ray players, 6 laptops/computers that are all on the same network, through in 7 cell phones, and 3 tablets, we have a lot of products looking for wireless network.
I have set up a 2g Connection and 5 G connection and devices depending on their connection methods are split up on those. With all of that connected, you can't play a game on one computer, and watch Netflix or Amazon on the other. What i'm looking for is some ideas on how to improve the network in my home and i guess even it out a bit. Give my son enough bandwidth for gaming and let me my wife and I still be able to watch Amazon Prime and cast it through chromecast to our tv. Despite the way it may seem, I don't have a ton of money to throw around, but i'm willing to pay for things that can help.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
