So I have gone through many wireless network adapters and I am debating on whether or not I should go out and buy the new Asus RT-AC66U router, and the new Asus PCE-AC66 wireless network adapter. Then I was gonna ask for a new Router/Modem from my ISP and use it as the dumb modem and following this guide to chain the two networks together in a cascading fashion (PPPoE configuration from the Router)... but that is quite expensive and I would like to try and save some money instead of spending that amount. (Reason for trying to do all this is I'm having some problems with my modem/router right now dropping wireless connections for a few seconds at random moments.)
I have been thinking about drilling a hole through the wall and plugging an ethernet cable into the router. I was just looking at cables not sure which type would be the best I was looking at some CAT6 cables at Futureshop today about 30' long I think for about $40 or something but I'd rather save that as a last resort.
I was talking to my ISP a few days ago and I'm not exactly sure what they were talking about but they said since I have one of the plugins in the room where I have my computer they said I could go out and buy about a $60 router and they said to make sure you'll be able to return it just in case it doesn't work, and they explained to me that what they would do is set it up so that I would have 2 IP addresses and one will be for all my other network devices and what not and another will be just for my computer, it sounds interesting but I'm not sure about it and would any of you suggest trying this?
So those are the only things I can really think about.
Also here is the problem I've being getting with my current router (I've tried at least 3 different wireless network adapters) What I have done here is just pinged google and started playing online games and whenever my ping would jump/lose connection I checked that ping to google and here is what it said!(Also tried it pinging when using wired connection, still lost connection but hardly ever.
