NSR: Wireless Router
Yes, searched and read the other threads.
TL
R -> Do I need a dual band wireless router?
I'm running a TP-LINK TL-WR841N connected to a Comcast Cable modem. This is a 2.4 Ghz 802.11b/g/n compatible router.
Here is the issue. We have 2 cellphones, two computer and a Roku (was wired connection) that at any point can be connected to the router. I am struggling to get a consistent strong connection to the router in an apartment complex from one end of the apartment to the other (probably 45 feet max). My wife needs to stream video in the office, while I work, surf the web, watch TV in the living room/dining room, etc. Router has been relocated today from the living room to the office.
At first I thought this was a Comcast issue (and occasionally the modem does need to be reset), but if we have both computers and Roku going in the same room near the router, everything seems to work fine and she can stream her video's fine. I just moved the router into the office and now I get poor connection on the Roku and on my computer in the living room. Also, just ran a speed test. Sitting across the apartment ~2.4 mb/s. Sitting next to the router ~10 mb/s
So, would a dual band router fix this? And, if so please recommend a router.
