I've been suffering from poor wireless reception in my house.
I have two D-Link 655 routers. One is set up access point, connected through the first one using Ethernet.
There are about 6-7 meters from one of the routers to the bedroom, with one wall in between, but it's enough to get really poor Netflix reception on a Chromecast. The house is about 300 years old, so the walls are pretty thick.
I have now purchased two Asus RT-AC68U routers to replace the D-Links.
I plan to have the same setup as before with the new routers, but maybe I should keep one or maybe even both of the old ones?
They could then serve the few g devices I still have, and the new routers could be set to N only (so far, I don't have any AC devices).
My house is far away from any other buildings, so I don't use any security settings on the wireless and I don't have to deal with neighboring networks.
What do you think?
If I should keep the old router(s), how should the network be configured (SSID, channels etc)?
