UPC 120Mbit/ Looking for access point

mefistos · 11-03-2014 01:53PM #1

Hello dear Friends, I hope i am in right place for help... I currently am on UPC 120MB/s plan (and I am getting 80Mbit when i sit beside my Cisco router) but when i get my computer to my room i get something about 20MB/s and my phone cant even handle that signal.. So i am thinking about getting AP to help me a bit... I am about 15 meters away from the router and there are one doors and wall... I am thinking about getting http://www.dabs.ie/products/asus-rt-n66u-black-diamond-dual-band-wireless-n900-gigabit-router-7Z7H.html as it looks like the best solution to my problem. Is there AP that you would recommend? I obviously look for best deal i could get and i don't want to spend more than 100 ish Euro on it.

Thank you in advance guys

That would work, but you'd still have to broadcast 15 metres. Have you seen these home plug devices? http://www.dabs.ie/products/tp-link-300mbps-av200-wireless-n-powerline-extender-7V4G.html?q=wireless%20homeplug&src=16

One of these with http://www.dabs.ie/products/tp-link-av200--multi-streaming-powerline-starter-kit-with-ac-pass-through-833V.html?refs=11&src=3

You actually only need one of the second one, but it's a good offer.

UPC router to one of the second ones, plug that into the wall. Plug the wireless one into a socket in your room.

hmm I've never thought of them... It would basically act as Wireless AP in my room right... do you have any experience with it? I don't wanna buy something that would give me 20MB/s speeds i am getting now

:) but it looks great and cheaper and much more efficient...

EDIT: on my phone i am getting 1 signal bar and on my laptop i have "Very Good" signal but still it wont go over 20 MB/s

My galaxy s 4 maxes out at about 40-50 right now using wireless in the room with upc. I haven't used the home plug wireless yet, so can't say. Amazon often do good reviews.
