Hello,
I have a 3500 sq ft house and use Comcast 25 Mbps internet. The modem and router is located in the basement and the upstairs rooms cannot even stream video without it dropping after about 20 min or less. Internet speeds in general are also an issue. After reading about this, I have found three main options:
1) Invest in a second wireless access point upstairs (the house is wired for CAT5 and it is all hooked up).
2) Get a wireless extender. I've read that #1 is a better option than this since this will split the already limited WiFi signal/speed.
3) Get a better router that can cover the whole house. I'm currently running a Linksys EA6500 with the Motorola SB6141 Cable Modem. I'd love some suggestions on specific routers if this is the best option!
Thank you!
