internet speed

I have a huge house and the problem seems to be related to Wifi, we plan to install three diferent routers at different points in the house . My question is that we will be connecting wired from the source incoming the house, but we are concerned about the funnelling effect. In other words would the speed at the router be affected and if so , which would be the best way to handle this, Thank you

I don't think this is a Wi-Fi issue. What you propose (wired out to the wireless routers) should work fine.

If one or two users start to download big videos, it will affect the whole system but that is true even if wired.

Make sure the main wired router has sufficient internal throughput to handle the load. Disconnect all other equipment temporarily. Now hook up one computer wired to the main router. Run a speed test (speedtest.net) and test the speed. Be sure you are getting what the ISP advertises.

Adding additional WiFi Router to your Home network.

1. Make sure you disable DHCP in the other WiFi Routers
2. Use Same SSID and passcode
3. Plug Lan wire from a Lan port on your First WiFi to the internet port of the second wifi router
4. do the same for the third wifi router.

Hi viankus,

Why do you need three different WiFi routers? Whether you have three internet connections?
If you have one incoming internet connection,You can use WiFi repeaters to boost your signal strength instead if WiFi Routers..
