Hi,
In my place, there is a wireless service provider which is very cheap, only $3 per month. But in my room the wifi signal is horrible. So currently I setup my router (TP-Link WR740N) in client mode, put it where the signal is good and then connect it to my PC via ethernet cable.
But, it has lots of problems, the speed is only about 20-30 mbps and tends to be very unstable sometimes. If I use my phone as an wi-fi extender instead and put it right beside the router, the speed and stability is much better (60-90 mbps) than the router
To solve this issue, I am planning to buy a cheap dual band router hoping it would be better than the one I have right now. So my question is, is there a better solution for this? A device which can do the job better ?
Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks.
PS : The wi-fi has captive portal and I solve this using mac address cloning.
