Soho user with bad wifi coverage
Hi,
I have a user who works from home . He has a dlink dir-825 connected to her isp but the signal isn't strong enough on the 3rd floor to provide fast internet speed for her son's gaming needs.
I am thinking of adding a repeater device on the first floor that will only be connected to power and that will relay the signal to the 3rd floor. I have checked on dlink website and it's not clear what device would be the best.
Anyone can tell me what would be dlink best repeater device in this situation where network speed is the goal.
tx!

Any Device that can be set up as an Access point should work
Lately we have been using the EnGenius EAP9550 You just plug them in - connect a laptop to the rj45 port and log in to them as directed.
You can then set them on the same subnet as the Dlink router and then scan - When you see your Dlink - chose that to connect to and they become a wireless repeater

How about powerline networking? Plug one near the dlink with ethernet into that, one near the xbox/ps3 and ethernet into that. 100/200/500 Mbps link there you go without any hassle.

For the powerline, my user tried it and said there is performance issues?? But also would be nice for her laptop to have access from anywhere include the patio.

Do you know what would impair gaming performance, it surely isn't wifi speed: they can reach 300 and the internet link is about 10-20mb for this user.
