The internet connection I am getting is fiber optic 100Mbps Upload & Download. The router is Dlink 850L.
My router is placed in my lounge. I usually sit at a desk with my laptop which is about 6 feet away from the router (in the same room), here I get full signal & my speed is about 40Mbps.
Firstly I'd like to know if there is anything I can do to improve this speed as when I do a speedtest on my desktop PC connected via ethernet cable to the router it is around 90Mbps.
When I move the laptop to the bedroom which is about the same distance but separated by 2 walls the speed goes down to around 10Mbps and WIFI signal changes from full to half full.
How can I strengthen the WIFI signal so I get the same speed & signal anywhere in the house?
I have learn't about 5GHZ signal which my router supports but not my laptop. If I upgrade to 5GHZ on my laptop will this solve the issue of a weak signal & slow speed?
