Dear people of Tom's Hardware,
I have a bit of a wifi problem. Two fairly big buildings use the same wifi through a chain of routers, and there is a loss of speed. The cable comes into the first router (Cisco EPC3928S EuroDocsis 3.0 2-PORT). Then there is around 10m-15m(meters) of ethernet going to router two(TL-WR841N). Then there is approximately 30m going to router 3(TL-WR940N) which is in the second building second floor. From that router, there's two cables going to the first floor, cable one around 10m(not important router[router 4]), and cable 2 35m(TL-MR3420[Router 5]). All this is used by around 15 devices so it shouldn't be too much.(laptops and phones)
So that's the grid. The internet package is 80mbps download speeds, and that was provided from router 3 quite well until we added router 5 into the grid. As i am writing this post, The speed is 25mbps(speedtest.net) and occasionally goes up to 40mbps.
Do you have any idea what i could do to boost the speeds? Are any routers in the grid bottlenecking the grid from full potential, if so which? Would it be better to have one cable for each router coming from the cisco? Would a better firmware change anything?
It would be really nice to have all 80mbps pumping throughout the whole grid.(In the near future, might upgrade to 120mbps.)
Thank you.
