I currently have an RT-AC66U router located in my upstairs office. The 2.4GHz band gives me full strength connection when I'm downstairs but the 5GHz connection is 2-4 bars depending and sometimes it drops. I know the 5GHz connection has limited range compared to the 2.4 but I have a lot of interference with my neighbors connections as well as my sons baby monitor. Basically I need to use the 5GHz connection and make the signal strength stronger. I'm assuming to achieve this I could just use a second AC66U to bridge the two connections and keep the second one located downstairs. Can I use a cheaper model with AC capabilities and still get the full bandwidth?
Thank you.
Thank you.
