Se necesita mucha mas informacion.

ISP-supplied routers are usually sufficient for routing purposes. Are your problems related to your WAN or LAN limitations? I'd assume the prior.
 
Limitations are not in house they are noticeable in back yard gateway is setup to separate the two bands from Comcast so iPhones and 1 of the computers use the 5 ghz band the printer iPad printer Xbox 360 PS3 tv etc use 2.4 ghz band don't use all at the same time mind you coverage to back yard with wifi seems very short distance to me the gateway is located upstairs hardly go 30 ft in back yard with spotty coverage there are others homes around with wifi but they are on different channels

I understand there may be limitations to 5ghz band but 2.4 ghz I hear from manufacturers and reviews that people are getting 200 feet through 3 walls like in the rs7800 netgear review that i just watched on cnet also talked to asus about their products as well i will probably at some point uograde my ipad and game consoles as well
Thanks again for the replies
