    Amped R1000 Problems, thinking Asus RT-N56U

    I replaced my R1000 with a DD-WRT flashed Refurb Linksys e1200. I have to say, performance has been amazing (note: WMM must be disabled on the e1200 for optimum wireless performance). I added a third Trendnet HomePlug in my basement that is plugged directly into a PS3. Speedtest shows 21mbps...

    Amped R1000 Problems, thinking Asus RT-N56U

    It's stable, but remember I've reduced the tx power by half. I ordered a Linkays 1200 to use with two Linksys 1000 routers. I also ordered another Zyxel HonePlug. So far so good.

    Amped R1000 Problems, thinking Asus RT-N56U

    Thanks again everyone. Day 1 of testing is complete and I have to say this has cured my wi-fi woes. After a few hours of tweaking, here's what I've come up with: -lots of neighboring APs and people streaming Netflix on ch6, so I'm using ch 1 & 11. I initially tried 6 for both and my...

    Amped R1000 Problems, thinking Asus RT-N56U

    Even if I set each to individual channels (1, 6, 11) and use only half transmit power?

    Amped R1000 Problems, thinking Asus RT-N56U

    I should receive the HomePlug tomorrow. in the meantime, I noticed that the linksys e900 refurb is $20 on Amazon. I'm tempted to purchase three of them and flash with DD-WRT. I could then place one on each level and use HomePlug for the first and third floor. I've seen mixed responses on...

    Amped R1000 Problems, thinking Asus RT-N56U

    Original room, however, you may be a genius for the movement comment. Ideally, I'd like to move the router in the middle of the home on the 2nd floor, but cannot due to lack of coax for the modem. How about this: leave the modem where it is and plug it into a HomePlug. Then, plug the router...

    Amped R1000 Problems, thinking Asus RT-N56U

    It's the room on the 3rd floor on the opposite side of the router. Home was built in 2000, three sided brick, kitchen in the middle of the house on the second floor. At work, we setup an Aruba wireless system with multiple APs and a controller. The controller monitors each client and as...

    Amped R1000 Problems, thinking Asus RT-N56U

    I performed a deeper analysis and it seems it's just one room that is having the issues. I'm going to purchase a HomePlug and connect a spare router to it. Few questions: -After I connect an additional router to a HomePlug (which is plugged into my main router), will it begin broadcasting a...

    Amped R1000 Problems, thinking Asus RT-N56U

    Great info, thanks! Cost isn't too big of a concern given our current frustration. It seems like the optimal solution is to continue using the Amped router with two additional routers placed on each floor. So, I'll purchase two additional routers and use HomePlug for each router. Can I...

    Amped R1000 Problems, thinking Asus RT-N56U

    Overview First post, long time observer. I have a three story, 3,900 SQFT home. About 1,300 SQFT per floor. On the main floor (2nd), I have an Amped R1000 against the far left wall where my entertainment area is (Plasma, RoKu, DECT 6.0 phone, etc). Kitchen is in the middle of the house...
