Dear all,
i have a 3 floors home, each floor is 80 s.m. or 850 s.f.
I have a NETGEAR DGND3700 ADSL modem (N600), the router at the ground floor is connected with ethernet to a smart TV.
I want a good coverage on 2.4 and 5 Ghz (standard N) on the three floors, the opposite corners of upper and lower floor now have some lacks of connectivity; the overall situation is good, on these I'm looking just for a marginal improvement and the possibility to connect a second Smart TV.
I have to connect my father's home (2.4 Ghz only) that is 50 meters from my home, direct view from one side of the upper floor; I do expect to be able to have a video call from there.
I attach a schema with the white boxes that I have to cover with WiFi.
Basically I'm looking for products with a good throughput at high attenuation levels.
Additional information:
* I already tried a standard WDS (54Mbps/G) trough DGND3700 at the upper floor and a NETGEAR DGN2200 (N300), the WDS is working but with low throughput and high latency.
* Budget is important, (I plan to spend less than 100 Euros) that's the reason why I was looking at:
- TRENDnet TEW-737HRE
- NETGEAR WNR2500
- TP LINK TL-WPA4220
all have very good rewievs; I was also thinking at using a power line adapter as suggested on SNB.
* Products have to be available also in Europe (Italy)
* I can use the NETGEAR DGND3700 and the DGN2200 (the latest as an AP?)
* I do prefer standard firmware without custom ROM
* I have a preference for NETGEAR because I always found It with a nice GUI and reliable over time.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
