Dear network guru's,
I've been at this problem for weeks now and it's driving me insane.
I'm going to explain my situation and needs and I hope you can help me, because I've been torn in deciding witch router to get (they ALL seem to have something wrong with 'em).
Situation
Internet connection : VDSL2 (30/6), 23mbps download in reality
Wifi connections nearby (2.4Ghz): 7
Range from floor 1 to floor 3: +-10meters
Testing with SSIDer
Networkcard: 6200AGN (dell studio)
Tested signals comming from my 2 WRT54GL routers (stock antennas)
As you can see, this setup is FAR from ideal and we would like to change this so we can take advantage of that incoming internet connection throughout the house(powerlan is not an option,3 floors are on 3 different circuits).
So in short my needs:
1. 23mbps wan->lan throughout the house (wireless)
2. If we need 2 routers to accomplish this, a client bridge has to work flawlessly
Now I've done A LOT of investigating and I came up with 2 routers that could maybe handle the job without needing to setup a client bridge:
Linksys E4200
Asus RT-N56U
What I was thinking here is to put up one of these routers in 2.4Ghz 40Mhz (our wireless cards support it);maybe try 5ghz 40mhz, getting a pci-e wireless adapter for the desktop and forgetting about the bridge all together.
Is there any advice that you could give me given the info above?
Best regards,
A desperate wifi user
P.S.: My apologies if I made any grammar/spelling errors, because English is not my mother tongue.

Range from floor 1 to floor 3: +-10meters
Floor 1: VDSL modem(dhcp off) -> WRT54GL (dd-wrt,TX power 90)
(speedtest result: cable 23mbps, wireless 15-18 mbps)
----concrete ceiling with rebars-----
Floor 2: My laptop (connected to floor 1 wrt54GL), ps3 (same)
(speedtest result: cable N.A., wireless 15 Mbps
---conrete ceiling with rebars-----
Floor 3: PC/laptop -> WRT54GL(dd-wrt, tx power 90, client bridge)
(speedtest result: cable 10mbps, wireless N.A.)
Testing with SSIDer
Networkcard: 6200AGN (dell studio)
Tested signals comming from my 2 WRT54GL routers (stock antennas)
From second to first floor (respectively laptop to WRT54GL 'main'): -50 dbm (RSSI)
From second to third floor (respectively laptop to WRT54GL client bridge): -52 dbm (RSSI)
From third to third floor (respectively laptop to WRT54GL client bridge): -30 dbm (RSSI)
From third to first floor (respectively laptop to WRT54GL 'main'): -70dbm (with jumps to 60 irregularly) (RSSI)
