    Help on buying WIFI router

    The range extender were kinda useless for me. It is not stable and drops signals. My house wasn't big (for extender to be useful), the issue is walls. Sounds like if I were to use devices on extender ID, I will experience slowness due to sending back/forth which makes sense. Maybe I should...

    Help on buying WIFI router

    I just checked with the wifi analyzer app, it shows so much interference between channel 1 to 6 and then 10 to 11. I place it around channel 7 or 8, it is better now. However, I think the range of this modem/wifi combo is rather weak, likely need a good wifi router to spread. The ethernet...
