My ISP offers 50mb Download and 10mb upload. I noticed that my wireless signal only has 15-20mb download and 10mb upload. When I conect directly to the modem I reach those speeds. I suspect that my router (Lyncsys WRT54G) cannot handle those speeds via wireless.

What router would you recommend for me to reach the speeds my ISP provides?
 
You will need to upgrade to wireless N. It's a little early to go to AC.

It really depends on your wireless adapters on your network devices -- to get full N speeds you cannot have legacy G devices accessing the network and need to use WPA2/AES security or you are also limited to G speed.

To get really good wireless speed it helps if you can bond two channels into a 40MHz wide channel. Two problems with that -- first your adapters have to also support it and you may not have enough 2.4GHz bandwidth around you to do it since nearby networks will interfere. You may want to go with 5GHz N wireless, at least for the high bandwidth stuff and leave 2.4GHz for lower bandwidth uses.

Bottom line is that I would look at a good dual band N wireless router (like an ASUS RT-N56U) if your devices will work with it or you will update them to work.
 


Thank you for the reply.

If I have a wireless router now does the DL/UL speeds differ over wireless versus being plugged into a port on the router? My Xbox is currently plugged into the router, while my computer is accessing via wireless. Would there be a difference in speed then?
 
Ethernet wired is faster and lower latency than any wireless network available.

A good router, however, can handle multiple wired connections while providing reasonable (say 40-50MB/s) wireless, more than adequate for a 50Mbps connection. Your XBOX should stay wired if at all possible and it will not affect wireless transfers.
 
Keep the XBOX wired.

That is a very old G router that has a maximum theoretical speed of only 54Mbps, so no it will not do that fast of a wireless connection. Whether the device is attached by Ethernet does not matter, and that router has has 100Mbps wired connections. The actual wireless speed of that router at say 20 feet is probably close to 8-10Mbps.
 
Sounds like I am due for an upgrade. I had this router for almost a decade now I believe. hehe

Thank you for you help!
 
My ISP offers 50mb D/L and 20 mbps U/L. I have a Netgear N300 and WN2500RP ranger extender.

I get the optimal speed when I connect my laptop and Desktop through LAN cables, in order to achieve them on both my Wifi router and extender what do i need to do ? I did all the channel and setting changes in the router, the best achieved results were

Wifi - 12 mbps
Wifi Extender - 7-8 mbps,

please advice.
 
You will need a newer faster router, and instead of an extender that cuts bandwidth in half you should use an access point. If you cannot run an Ethernet cable to the access point, then buy a pair of the new AV2 MIMO 1200Mbps powerline adapters -- in the real world they get over 200Mbps. (edit:Amazon has a great sale on an excellent model [HERE)

Of course all of your devices must have adapters that are modern so that they can handle the faster speeds also.

 
thank you so much realbeast, now due to a surge in power at my home the Extender got charred and Conked off now. Have anyways decided to go with the powerline adapters, I will do the research and get back to you for couple of suggestions.
 
2-port vs Nano Powerline Adapter, which one is better ?? I was looking into buy as per your suggestion TP-LINK series but instead of the TL-PA8010P KIT I thought I will go in for the TP-LINK TL-PA4010P KIT.

As I plan to connect both the port of the Power Line adapters to the Wifi router for better range witin the house, so do you think it makes sence for me to buy a two port so that I have a flexibility in adding the TV/ Xbox or any other device at a later point in time ??
 
Thanks Realbeast, Can I connect the other end of the powerline adapter RJ 45 cable to a wireless Routers/ Wifi router in the WAN area port ?
 
You can connect it to either a LAN port or a WAN port. If you want to set up the LAN port and configure it as an access point it will be on the same network as your main network. If you attach to the WAN port you will end up with a separate subnet.

 
the set up will be :-
Main Power line Adapter will be connected from the NETGEAR Wireless-N300 Router JWNR2000 and the Second Powerline adapter I want to connect it to a TP-LINK TL-WR841N 300Mbps Wireless N Router, so that there is a Wifi zone at that other part of the house, is that doable ?
 
Yes, that is a common way to extend wireless. The TP-Link should be setup as an access point.

Connect to an LAN port on the Tp-Link, turn off the DHCP on the TP-Link, give the TP-Link an IP address that is in the network range of the Netgear router but outside of the DHCP assignment range of the Netgear and set up the wireless channels so that they don't overlap. For 2.4GHz choose from channels 1, 6, and 11.
 


Great thanks a lot for the solution Realbeast, I am convinced now to go ahead with the purchase of the Poweline series and added router.

Now that I have finalised figuring out what to pick from the below ones ... any suggestions ?
1. TL-PA8030 (AV1200) from TP-Link - $60
2. TL-PA6010 from TP-Link - $46.22
3. PLP1200-100PAS from Netgear - $90
4. PLWK400 from Linksys - $78.98

Linksys has inbuilt wireless Extender but the others done have for which I would need to by another wireless router to expand the range, like

1. TP-LINK TL-WR841N
2. Netgear WNR614
 


thanks so much, I might get back to you on how to configure the same :) if I have any difficulty.

I just noticed is there a difference apart from the 3 port vs 1 port in models of TP-LINK TL-PA8030P KIT and TP-LINK TL-PA8010P, there is a price difference of $25 ??
 
Great Realbeast thanks for the help until now, have order my stuff now TP-LINK TL-PA8010P & TP-LINK TL-WR841N.

Hoping that the wifi speed from the AP Router will be the same as I get from the main router and not reduce the speed like what the wifi extenders used to do. My Internet speeds from the LAN & Main router are 50 Mbps and wishing to get the same at the other end.
 
I expect that you will easily get 50Mbps over that pair, I get 240Mbps and I've installed a number of them and never gotten under 200 over the LAN port of the AP at the end of the PL adapter connection.
 
The 8010P specs HERE show 220V, the 8030P specs HERE show 220V as the maximum.

Also the TP-Link product pdf sheets shows 230V 50Hz as the maximum, as shown HERE.

Although your set in your picture is a US set as it says US, all of the spec sheets indicate that it will handle 220V 50Hz current, but I would contact TP-Link support to check before plugging them into a 220V outlet. You can contact them by phone or email using their support page HERE.

Are your outlets US style but at 220V?
 
Mine will be a round pin with 220 Volts, I have figure a transformer to convert the 220V to 110V and I guess this should be work :)

Now I require your help in setting the second wifi zone at home, for now I want to connect my second powerline to netgear DG834G V3 and later buy a good one. will it work with this wifi router ?
