Here's my setup. A PC downstairs hard wired to a router. I got a new PC for upstairs.
Instead of running 50 feet of cable, I decided to go wireless.
The new PC is getting 65Mbps. My tablet, when I use it upstairs. I get anywhere between 5-40Mbps. When I use the tablet downstairs, I get 65Mbps.
For me 65Mbps is good enough for HD video on the desktop. I don't notice any difference from the pc downstairs, which is getting 100Mbps.
But on the tablet, I get lots of buffering issues upstairs, but not downstairs. But regular web browsing is OK.
Why is the tablet getting a weaker signal, when it only about10 feet from the upstairs PC?
Is it better to get a wireless router and set it up as a repeater upstairs?
Or upgrade the router? To something like a 300Mbps?
The router is a Netgear n150 wnr1000. The usb adaptor for the PC is a netgear n150 wna1100.
Would it be better to also change the usb adaptor to a faster one?
Also being that I only pay for a 20Mbps connection. I know that 65Mbps is the Lan speed. But how does that translate in internet speed?
