Hi All,
We have been using an unlimited data plan Tether on my win-ph8.1 cell phone for Internet in the house. That's 2-PCs, 2-tablets and 1-phone all using Wifi for Internet. We have had zero problems internally, but the cellular service is less than stellar so I have had the ADSL reconnected.
I am wondering if buying a new AC-Wifi router makes sense, but then I read this page...
What is the actual real-life speed of wireless networks ? :: SG FAQ
The thing being that the devices we are connecting to the Wifi-AP are all 150M (11G or 11N) toys. So, I have gone back to the old trusty Buffalo 300-dual band (DD-Wrt) router and a Actiontec ADSL2+ Modem, as it seems more than adequate for our household needs.
I do have a TP-Link N600 modem router but the 11G band stopped working after three months and TP-Link have been moronically useless at fixing it. I have turned off Wifi (switch on back) and just use it as a router for the home network. I guess I could turn Wifi back on and disable the 2.4GHz band in setup.
Is the Actiontec modem (GT701D-NF) likely to be a strangle-point?
Would the TP-Link N600 have better modem performance?
Thoughts and suggestions?
Thanks
