Hi,
I've got a wireless network setup that I'm having problems with and I'm curious what people might think would be a good idea for fixing it. EIther upgrading or what have you.
Currently i have a Cisco/Linksys E4200(v1) setup in a small room and about 20 ft from that room and through 2 oudoor walls I have a WES610n bridge setup in the living room. The problem is with streaming. The WES610n is only able to get speeds up to about 6mbps. If I move away from the WES610n and towards the router about 5-6ft with my MBpro I can get 150+mbps plus on N with it.
I'm curious if there are any tips for a higher powered router, upgrade/mod for my router or a better bridge? I can't really EASILY move the router closer though I may end up having to if I'm unable to find an alternative. I can't stream Plex videos from my plex media server at anything higher than 3-4mbps.
As for the surrounding area, I live in the outer suburbs and there's not much interference at all. There are 2 other wireless routers near me and they are both on G only and I've configured my router to stay on a channel far away from them. Currently setup on channel 11. They are all on 6.
I'm not worried about cost or anything. I really just want this wireless to work.
