Hey everyone, I just moved into a new room above the garage. It’s really spacious, which is awesome. The only issue is my wireless internet is terrible—completely unreliable. But I do have one Ethernet port or cable connected straight to my router, and I ran a speed test over Ethernet. It showed 500 Mbps downloads and 50 Mbps upload, so the wired connection is solid. My goal now is to convert that Ethernet cable into a wireless access point while keeping the Ethernet connection available for my desktop PC. I’m wondering what equipment I should use and whether I need an access point or a network switch. Could you suggest what type of product works best? Also, any recommendations for a good brand? Thanks in advance!

I don't have a physical connection to the internet, so I don't experience internet speed. My performance depends on the network and devices used by others.

You receive 60 when wired, but the cost is for 100 units.

My connection speed is lower than expected—about 3 mb/s during downloads.

I say 500MB/s differs from 500Mb/s. If it's in megabytes per second, it implies a faster internet speed—over 1Gb/s.

What's going on? I believed my speed was quick—200! Why bother with wireless? Go old school! It's still better that way.
