I updated my Internet connection to one with 50mb speed, but my old router (DIR-300) can't reach 50mb, so I want to buy a new.
I want a nice router, preferably costing less than $ 100, it need to support 50mb speed and give a good signal to my PC that stay about 10 meters distant, with two walls between they.
Do you have any recommendations? Preferably one that I can find on eBay or AliExpress, cause I'm from Brazil and some stores don't send packages to my country.
PS: Sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language...

Still 2 walls and 9 meters is a lot for N wireless. If you have no neighbors using wireless, the 2.4GHz band has better penetration of material than the 5GHz, but everybody uses 2.4GHz so there is usually a lot of interference. If you are doing any gaming or video streaming a very good pair of powerline adapters would be more reliable, and if at all possible a cable would be the best solution (and the cheapest).

Sorry, but you are not going to find a wireless router (other than perhaps a new expensive 802.11ac model) that will consistently give you a 50Mbps connection at 10 meters through two walls.

Probably the best router to look at would be an ASUS RT-N56U, although you may need to add a distant wireless access point.

Really?! Even if I buy better antennas, is possible to get about 80% of my speed?
I can put it on the next room, then will be just one wall, but still a 9 meters distance...
