try a cheap external usb wifi card with a decent antenna to test
on your laptop
i've got a pci wifi card in my pc that i bought today
also get better antenna for your main AP
it gets like 150 which is acceptable
place as centrally as you can, otherwise you're SOL.
why not ethernet
assuming latency isn't an issue would an extender help all of the devices with shitty antennas and shit that's in the attic?
if you don't care about latency, in theory yes.
it's mostly media delivery shit that's a problem
it would help your crappy devices
ok
but
you have to make sure the devices your bridging with actually can service a signal
and not have the same problem your laptops are having
i might need to give some more context
in the past we had 30 down and 5 up, and i used an n600 and n300, the n300 in repeater mode to blanket the upstairs
maybe but i don't think so
everyone always got 30
now i've switched to 200 down 10 up
no, asus n600
oh
shitty consumer grade stuff
yeah you know you can do better with off-lease enterprise stuff
anyway
off topic
so it was good and it's bad now
basically just wanted to make sure an extender wouldn't fuck my shit up
well
thing is
even though the only thing that changed was your WAN uplink?
no
router changed too
so
fuck im so bad at explaining
use your old router in bridging mode in the same spot
maybe I'm retarded who knows
that's actually what i'm doing
and it's not working
