I've been using a 6 year old Netgear WPN824 V3. Our new house is big and the router is downstairs... Upstairs everything is getting bad connection so I think it's time to upgrade. I want to list what I was thinking about doing and you guys please give me feedback and opinions.
Downstairs I have wired to my router is -
PC
Xbox 360
Xbox One
Ethernet cable to upstairs
Upstairs -
PS3 wired to downstairs
As you can see I use all 4 LAN ports.
Here's a couple of ideas I've been thinking bout.. Keep my Netgear downstairs (even though it's dated) and wire an asus rt-n66u upstairs and set it into ap mode and wire the ps3 to it too. But I do want to know if keeping the Netgear will limit my connection since it's so old.
Or buy a wired router for downstairs since everything is wired in downstairs and either get an asus rt-66u upstairs or even a wireless ap.
Let me know guys... I'm fairly new to networking.
