Hi guys I don't know where exactly to post this so I figure here, but move it if it is in the wrong forum. I need advice on networking.
So I am based in Asia at the moment and I am using what they call fiber broadband, these run on fiber optic cables it terminates at a terminal in the house, and that goes to a optical terminal box which looks like an old school modem, from there it goes to a wireless router provided for by the ISP.
The service speed is about 150Mbps. The wireless router provided seems to be only single band, I get varying speeds but in the room I max out at 40ish Mbps but sometimes it goes down to 10 or 20. There are 2 computers in the house, mine is the only one that downloads and streams stuff. But if you count all connected devices it would be about 5 or so.
I have a Dlink router DIR825 which I flashed with DD WRT but I have not figured out how to program everything yet but when I tried it yesterday with stock firmware it was not performing at all, really slow. I was hoping if I up the power via ddwrt it would be better.
I need a solution for now, when I move it would be easy to fix with a wired and wireless combo solution for now I need a fix.
I need to maximise my bandwidth. Wiresless seems to be hopeless, the only really high speed one I see is buffalo 1750 which goes to 800 plus on ac, BUT their USB adapters don't work with mac. So with out ac on my mac I can't take advantage of it without an adapter.
I was thinking about one of those things that work on your power line. Goes from the router to an adapter into the power line. Then at a socket u can install the adapter and go wired or wireless to your mac. This could be good. If anyone know of a powerful solution for this pls let me know.
I need high powered solutions so pls feel post your recommendations etc
