I have my router located in my basement. My computer is on the second floor and there is no possibility of a direct wired connection as there are no ethernet plugs on this floor.
For about a year, I've been using the Linksys PLE400 powerline HomePlug to connect to the internet.
The speeds have always been absolutely horrible. The computer beside my router in the basement gets 45Mbps while the computer on the second floor normally gets 2-5Mbps (8 is the max I've seen).
I've come to the point where I simply can't handle these internet speeds anymore and am looking for alternatives.
Both my Macbook Pro and my Lenovo laptop get speeds of 40Mbps - 45Mbps on the second floor, both of course using wireless connection.
What are my options? Should I go wireless? How would I go wireless (what would I buy, etc)?
Please help!
