I've got my router in the basement beside one of my other computers (the router DOES need to stay there) and we have 2 computers on the second floor.
A few months ago, we bought one of these with the hopes that the speeds would stay relatively the same from the basement to the second floor.
Recently, we did a speedtest on the computer downstairs beside the router and it came up with 60 mbps down. We then did a speedtest on the computer upstairs and got a maximum of 10 mbps down.
We then tried plugging an ethernet cable from the router downstairs to one of the computers upstairs and we suddenly got 60 mbps down. Perfect. One problem: the ethernet cable.
Our house doesn't have ethernet cables behind the walls nor do we want to run a 60ft cable from the basement to the second floor.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
