Hello all i have a wireless question,
We just moved into a new house, which is fairly big at 3000 sq ft not even including the redone basement. I had an old Netgear N600 router that I decided to replace with a Netgear AC1200.
Unfortunately the router had to go into one corner of the house on the middle floor and my computer is all the way at the other corner on the second floor, so just as I expected im getting a horrible signal. My computer is constantly dropping to one out of the 3 full bar strengths. Never goes to full strength.
This is what I am getting on my computer for a speed. We bought 100 mbps internet.
I downloaded the speedtest app and walked around the house and was getting 48 mbps on my iphone in closer parts of the house.
So my question is, what should I do? Buy a wifi extender and place it somewhere in the middle of the house that gets more speed? is it the router that actually sucks and should i upgrade to maybe the Nighthawk AC1900?
The devices connected through wifi are:
4 smartphones
1 tablet
4 smart tvs
2 computers (one for high end gaming and movie streaming online)
1 laptop
