are they selling to mongoloids

2016-11-17 04:06:15 UTC  

anyone know much about home networking? I'm thinking I might need an extender

2016-11-17 04:06:24 UTC  

is this bait

2016-11-17 04:06:28 UTC  

It is logical

2016-11-17 04:06:37 UTC  

no im just retarded pls help

2016-11-17 04:06:43 UTC  

There are people would plug in to pci

2016-11-17 04:06:49 UTC  

they don't want to deal with shitty things like "oh boi, I tried to plug it in my pc and didn't work, please refund".

2016-11-17 04:06:56 UTC  

just buy another AP and set it to bridge on the same SSID broseph

2016-11-17 04:07:04 UTC  

on another channel

2016-11-17 04:07:15 UTC  

tried doing that, getting terrible speeds

2016-11-17 04:07:40 UTC  

why do you think an extender would help

2016-11-17 04:08:15 UTC  

mostly because the 2nd router is shit but i'm getting weird results

2016-11-17 04:08:27 UTC  

I'm using an ac1200 asus router downstairs

2016-11-17 04:08:30 UTC  

are you in a city

2016-11-17 04:08:37 UTC  

with lots of other wifi noise

2016-11-17 04:08:39 UTC  

no channels aren't the issue i've tried that

2016-11-17 04:09:03 UTC  

the thing is downstairs i get about 180 on everything

2016-11-17 04:09:20 UTC  

run ethernet upstairs and set up a 2nd ap there

2016-11-17 04:09:20 UTC  

upstairs i get 180 on my phone, but like 60-80 on everything else and in the attic it gets down to 30

2016-11-17 04:09:39 UTC  

don't use an extender it'll just make shit lag worse

2016-11-17 04:09:41 UTC  

running ethernet isn't an option unfortunately or else i would have done that already

2016-11-17 04:09:49 UTC  

shoo shoo, Anon111234 stinky chinky

2016-11-17 04:10:30 UTC  

install a wifi analyzer and check signal strength and SnR in the places upstairs compared to downstairs

2016-11-17 04:10:34 UTC  

on your phone*

2016-11-17 04:10:49 UTC  

my phone is an edge case though

2016-11-17 04:10:52 UTC  

empirical data will set you free

2016-11-17 04:11:00 UTC  

for whatever reason my phone gets great speeds everywhere

2016-11-17 04:11:02 UTC  

nothing else does

2016-11-17 04:11:22 UTC  

antennas suck on your other devices then

2016-11-17 04:11:38 UTC  

try a cheap external usb wifi card with a decent antenna to test

2016-11-17 04:11:43 UTC  

on your laptop

2016-11-17 04:11:54 UTC  

i've got a pci wifi card in my pc that i bought today

2016-11-17 04:11:59 UTC  

also get better antenna for your main AP

2016-11-17 04:12:03 UTC  

it gets like 150 which is acceptable

2016-11-17 04:12:23 UTC  

place as centrally as you can, otherwise you're SOL.

2016-11-17 04:12:30 UTC  

why not ethernet

2016-11-17 04:12:37 UTC  

assuming latency isn't an issue would an extender help all of the devices with shitty antennas and shit that's in the attic?

2016-11-17 04:13:04 UTC  

if you don't care about latency, in theory yes.

2016-11-17 04:13:07 UTC  

it's mostly media delivery shit that's a problem

2016-11-17 04:13:09 UTC  

it would help your crappy devices

2016-11-17 04:13:12 UTC  

ok
