is what i'm worried about
no way.
because if the theoretical limit is 80 let's say
if i had 30 before i would have no way to know that 80 was the limit
didn't you say you get "great speeds" with your phone
doesn't that kill that theory right there
yes but the phone is connected to the downstairs router
routers can push many hundreds of megabit.
even the cheapest crap broadcom mips chips
basically i fucking hate networking
that doesn't change your problem
wait are you running two different SSIDs or just one
with both routers
and are you setting them both to auto-channel
i think you're not being methodical and organized so you're trying random shit and being frustrated
which happens
i've been there
we then try to wave a magic wallet wand to make the problem go away but it won't
(well, if you upgrade to 802.11ac, maybbe)
i recently upgraded to a powerline adapter
i'm on 802.11n for half of my house
or or
use a MoCA bridge
they're cheap
i've solved my own wifi problem by throwing the wallet wand at it
but the rest of my family get shit speeds and i'm the designated tech monkey so i need to fix it
i think i'll try an extender and if it doesn't work i'll be methodical
delet them
leave your family
like i can't be fucked to actually care about their complaints
and your mom doesn't want you to drill holes so no ethernet
pfft.
drywall is meant to be drilled through
anyway you need to distribute your spectrum
use channels 1,6 and 11 effectively
it's an old house and where the holes would have to be drilled is literally infested with bees
WALL HONEY
get a few cheap APs and move them around the ground floor and bamft
NO
the bees vibrate
