Dual Band Wireless N Router With Highest Speed/ Strength

  • Hi,

    I have tried both an G & N router suggested on your site. The Buffalo “N” router had range but was slow & dropped all the time. The G was very fast but had no range.

    Do you have a suggested “best of it all” model? I have read the reviews with actual third person results on distance & speed and the winner was the Asus RT-N56U but HSS software doesn’t work with it. The next best that I could see was the Buffalo which was miserable.

    My main concern is distance & consistent signal. I’m looking to take on the apartment complex next door who is raping their low income people by not allowing any high speed internet but theirs. The have raised their rates 4 times in the last 6months!

    I don’t care if I have to go with wireless G as long as I can reach about 200yrds with a the ability to pass a movie. I’m open to amplifiers, antennas, & whatever else I need. My only caveat is cost. The cheaper the better as my money will be going into the bandwidth.

    I not only appreciate your help but so will the 30-40 kids who can’t get internet or have to miss meals to afford 1up/1down at $79 a month. This landlord is a real piece of work. He provides his own cable service, won’t allow any dishes and blocks not only torrents on his wifi service but also netflix, hulu and other tv sites so no one can get around his cable service.

    If I can get this all setup for a few hundred and charge $10 to $40 a month depending on usage. Sad that kids will huddle under my apartments window in the rain to finish their homework on my open wifi.

    Thanks!

    Linksys / Cisco WRT54GL is a reliable router with good and stable signal. The coverage depends on a lot of things, like walls, objects, etc.

    You may consider setting up a router from Ubiquiti , the Airmax series are N based and working quite well.

    It depends on what quality you would like to ‘pass a movie’. For example a 1080p film requires about 40Mbit bandwidth.
