Her mom's old router struggles with modern devices and needs a 2.4 GHz connection. She has a budget between $50 and $100 and wants to shop on Amazon. Thanks everyone!
The wireless router model is currently being used. Several devices are connected simultaneously. The coverage area needed for wireless signals is significant. There are areas without reliable connectivity. The router is positioned centrally. A wireless survey should be performed using WiFi Analyzer to check channel availability across all supported bands. Most IoT devices can function adequately on 2.4GHz despite some interference, though poor coverage remains a concern.
It's an older Linksys model, centrally placed with no dead zones. The main issue is streaming HD to the TV and handling multiple simultaneous streams—especially with more than one person watching. I'm about two hours away, so I can't test it right now. I might be able to check up to 15 devices at once, but I'm not sure. Thanks!
Search for labels on the device itself—it's a positive sign. This older wireless router still connects to needed devices. Try when possible. Adjust settings based on the spectrum information for better results. As WiFi 6 routers become more affordable, consider models under $100 like the RAX20. If your current devices support WiFi 6, it can boost multiple client connections.
