Top choice for networking under $200
Hi there, we’ve been using the ISP-provided modem/router combo for a while now, but it’s not working well. My ISP is Comcast and I’m on a 400Mbps plan. Our home is around 3,000 sqft with two floors, and the router is tucked in a corner, which makes the WiFi weak. I’d like better coverage inside the house for less than $300, and if that’s not feasible, I’m open to suggestions like powerline or MOCA. I’ve also heard about mesh networking, but those seem costly. I’m trying to figure this out and would appreciate any advice you can offer.
You can use a lengthy Ethernet cable, a switch, PowerLine adapters, or range extenders.
Mainly a repeater with a separate backhaul radio operating on another channel.
http://a.co/goJglct Fairly cheap, just takes a little bit to configure them. I'm running a powerline adapter and it works great. My internet comes in at a corner of my house in the basement but there's no RJ11/phoneline jack - long story short I connected a powerline adapter and terminated the other end upstairs > vonage > wireless handset base. Done. Old house it used to be vonage > rj11 jack - so whole house was wired. Anywho whole point is the powerline adapter works great for internet sharing. You won't see gigabit speeds but 400-500mbp/s no problem.
