We have a 4 storied house with good number of walls and blockages. I have a D-LINK DIR 300 wall mounted at the center of the house but the signal drops to zero towards the corner in a floor above.
So, to increase the wireless range to cover all the corners, shall I buy a TP-LINK 1043ND (or any other similar high range router) or shall I buy another basic router and use it as a WIFI repeater?
Please suggest other better alternatives if any.
Extended-range routers are generally a rip-off. If you use extended-range routers you need extended-range wireless adapters in your devices or you'll experience the same range problems. – Mr. Mascaro – 2014-11-10T14:42:43.737
What sort of materials are the walls made out of? I notice the router is 802.11g which would indicate its operating on the 2.4Ghz band can you confirm this? A high powered dual-band 802.11ac router would likely help. But if the walls are of the wrong material it won't. – Ramhound – 2014-05-02T13:17:28.733
Yes my present router is 802.11g operating on 2.4Ghz band and the walls are made of concrete. – Avinash Sonee – 2014-05-02T13:25:42.617
