please recommend a Wifi router

[miLes]

using belkin N150 ADSL2. been using for 3 years na. router is on the 3rd floor. pag sa ground floor na mahina na signal. range is probably around 50-60feet

[gearspeed]

Pag two floors ang bahay ano dapat yung router na gamitin?
Gusto ko kasi yung malakas pa din signal kahit nasa itaas ako or nasa ibaba.Kaya naka modem pa din ako ngayon kase iniisip ko baka mahina ang router eh.

Thanks.

I recommend Asus N66U. Been using this router for a year now and so far stable,fast with frequent firmware updates. Do a search for reviews online.

Kelangan talaga per floor ang Wi-Fi AP. Ang issue kasi dyan is not the router but the gadgets. Normally mahina ang power ng mga gadgets. Kahit napakalakas ang router kung mahina naman ang gadget, wala din.

This thing is one neat Wi-Fi indoor installation. Mura lang.

I would recommend a wifi router per floor. Then CAT5 cable to connect the routers together between floors.

all of the above suggestions work. or you can also try this Edimax EW-7438RPn N300 Universal Wi-Fi Extender | VillMan Computers

I used it in my parents house. They now have coverage on both floors. No need for cat 5 wiring. I think you can link up to 4 units if you have a mansion.

One can also opt to buy Routers with dual band [it probably means two radios (2.4 and 5GHz)] & removable antennae. SMA cable is all you need to extend the range. One can also upgrade the antenna to higher dBi for wider coverage.

Gigabit wireless (WiFi - AC) is now available.

So bibili ako ng router then extension pa nung router para malakas pa din kahit nasa itaas ako tama ba sir?

marami kang option:

a) pa cable ka sa second floor, tapos yung connection mo sa ibaba maghihiwalay, isa papuntang wifi router sa ground floor and isa papunta sa second floor.
b) buy a wifi extender, or another router that you will utilize as an access point. yung second floor access point mo directly communicates with the router sa ground floor. pero again, depende ito sa lakas ng bato ng signal mo ng router sa ground floor.
c) buy a stronger router, na nakalagay sa ground floor lang.

if i am to choose, i'll chose option b. pero extender option, hindi access point option.

No, a single dual band WIFi-N should do the trick I know because my Dual band wifi N can reach three compounds (some cousins like the free wifi).

depends pa din on the router brand bro. yung sa akin, buffalo na N, although tumatagos sa second floor (concrete floors ang second floor), medyo mahina.
nung pinalitan ko ng linksys na n din, signal went up by 75%.

Mukhang kailangan pagaralan ko mabuti yan wifi na yan ah.hehe.

yan dapat recommend kong wifi router sa kapitbahay namin para abot sa amin.

[BratPAQ]

how about doing these especially kung nasa iang side lang yung router mo at nasasayang ang other half ng signal.

A dual band Wi-Fi means one side is a 2.4GHz and the other is 5GhZ. Most gadget's radio are only 2.4GHz. In such case, only the one side of the band is usable. Unless, your gadget is also a dual band.

In more complicated Wi-Fi networks, the 5GHz band is used as a backbone or a backhaul to make a node in a mesh Wi-Fi architecture. This design probably used in the Wi-Fi network of SM and NAIA. If your set-up at home is what I am saying, then the 5Ghz band is usable.

Wi-Fi system is two-way which means the gadget and the AP(router) is transmitting and receiving signals. The usable range between the two is dependent on the range of the weaker of them. If the router(AP) can reach kilometers away, it does not mean that your gadget can connect to that AP when you are located kilometers away. If the gadget(say iPhone, Galaxy, laptop), can only reach 100meter, then you can only connect no more than 100meters away.

Both sides must talk and listen.

Parang dalawang tao na nagsisigawan yan. Yung isa ay napakalas sumigaw, naririnig ng isa kahit nasa 1 kilometer away. Yung kabila na nasa dulo, napakahinang sumigaw kaya hindi naririning nung una. Sa ganitong scenario, no communication link was stablished.

One side of the router is good enough to make a good communication link.

Indeed. Most old gadgets are single band, but newer ones are usually dual band already.

Well illustrated Sir.

Indeed bro, it depends on the brand and implementation. Linksys is good pero I don't buy their newer models kasi puro internal antenna. i love the design of the E4200 series (now E4500). Ganda rin ng EA6500 and EA6700 kaso walang provision for antenna extension, kailangan mo pa ng wireless range extender and these things slow down the throughput of the whole network (if I understood the literature correctly).

In my case, my house starts at the 2nd floor kaya siguro mas malawak ang reach ng signal (my router is a no name brand, edimax 6675nD). It uses the worst of radios, RaLink ata or something. hehe

[Lew_Alcindor]

sa amin TP-Link. Almost 8 years na nagana pa din. Ngayon nasa first floor at ok naman signal sa second floor although kahoy sahig sa second floor.
