Hello,
I manage a small hotel with 17 rooms (it's probably a little larger than a large house). I am trying to improve our wifi performance. Up until 2 months ago we had 15mbps speeds and I just upgraded to 100 mbps. We also just got a modem that can handle the 100 mbps speeds, an arris cm82oa. Our router is a Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router that has to be over ten years old and we have a wifi extender on each floor. I want to upgrade the router because I feel like that might be what is hampering our internet. When we have a full house the speeds are very slow and devices will often get booted off. Does any one have suggestions of either a type of router or a specific router that will be best for this situation? I know routers alone won't increase speeds but since I already upgraded our service and modem I thought it might be the problem but I don't want to spend $300 on a router that I won't be using properly.
