Hello,
I have a problem with my wireless network signal in an apartment block house. We need to connect 2 rooms, that have a whole floor in between them (at least 2.5m). That means at least 2 concrete walls.
There is a Tenda W311R+ N150 router with a detachable 5dBi (not sure about this one) antenna that works on the upper floor.
PC that needs a wireless access on the lower floor has TP-LINK TL-WN722N 150Mbps High Gain Wireless USB Adapter with a 4dBi detachable antenna.
I know that in order to get a good signal antennas should be parallel to each other, which is kind of impossible here because PC is nearly right below it. Although it is receiving a signal and I can browse some web pages, it is still extremely slow.
What I wanted to ask was, what I could do to increase the signal strength. At the moment I have thought of 3 options:
1) better antennas for both router and USB adapter;
2) wireless signal booster (note that I cannot use the apartment that is in between these 2 rooms, so I cannot place it right in the middle for optimal performance);
3) powerline adapters (I do not know how exactly they work though).
I can reach more than 90Mb/s through Ethernet cable. How much speed could I lose in the process if using range extender or powerline adapter?
Thank you in advance!
