Increase the range of wi-fi in the apartment

Good time of day.

The room is a router TP-Link with two antennas connected directly with PC and the actual gives wi-fi.
But the problem is that it is simply not enough to other room catches 2-3 strips of 4, and the connection is very bad and the Internet is lost, the Internet speed is 100 megabits.

But I looked in Google that you can buy a repeater, and it will extend the coverage area of wi-fi, only I did not come across, does anyone have experience using such a device, there is a benefit?
Thanks in advance for Your advice!

Need a router to take normal. will be expensive, but worth it

Here is an TP-LINK TL-WR841N
Not sure good or not, but first arranged. But after using for 2-3 years, began to fail, then the wifi disappears, then something else...
Perhaps such a resource of routers, I can not say exactly.

And also wanted to ask, the provider gives me the speed directly 100 megabit, both at reception and in bestowal. Directly on the PC via speedtest everything fits, and via wifi, the device shows 25 or max 35 Mbps, the device all of the modern, and maintain a high speed, maybe the provider?
And if not difficult, advise a good router for the apartment.
Thanks in advance!

Yes you need a normal router. And if in the apartment where a lot of neighborhood Vafaev, preferably dual band.
Make sure all devices support the IEEE 802.11 n standard, and try to change the password (maybe a neighbor has connected to wifi with slow devices)
Make sure using the smartphone that the channel is not busy and not overloaded with neighboring networks. (this and the previous paragraph is very similar to your reason, what had worked well and then stopped)
If the antenna on the router is detachable, you can try to make a homemade antenna on YouTube is full of designs.

I recommend to watch the video

Need normal wifi. Channels so clogged due to the number of devices that lose packets, and does not deliver.
The more devices connected to the network, the greater the probability that Wi fi will lose packets, especially if there are low frequency.
PS If your phone is modern with a good top filling 200MB easily survive. Even more.
By the way live in a big house and everywhere I have a mini router (addition to the main router) which are connected which provides a stable coating. But I still recommend not to skimp on the electronics.
Interesting Fact: if the Network is connected Wafi 10 - 20 devices and their activity to 0, the packets still will be lost due to a bad router. It means that the speed will be cut in 2 or 3 times.

I watched the video on their channel) But it's not for my hands) I'm Not special in this case)
And so, tried different channels, and threw it to factory settings, still nothing helps...

D1_

Wi-Fi connected 4 devices, it seems to me that it is not very much)
And what about the mini routers You mean repeaters? I just paid attention to them, and was thinking to buy one, but I do not know will help or not, if I have a router is not very powerful Wi-Fi signal issues, it would get it to the repeater?
And I also want to ask, if you choose a good router, what is its price in the region of 2300 rubles, and on what manufacturer it is possible to pay attention to?
Thanks in advance!

A repeater can be any router. Create to the main router connection and all.

To make a repeater router, first you need to buy another router;-)

But if to choose between these two routers, what is best to give preference to?

It's all bad, but if there is no choice, you should try to move the camera around the apartment. Waves of this frequency can't bend around obstacles, they are absorbed or reflected..., XS where. Need direct visibility, or at least no metal in the way of waves, it is possible to try to estimate plan living space and put the router to see the doors of all the rooms...however, if you formerly communal, this trick will not work.

Correctly install the required number of repeaters so that they were in line of sight of each other, so you can waffle without signal loss pull in the most inaccessible places (basement, attic, garage).

Although, for a normal apartment/house should be enough to power a normal router, even if the signal is somewhere fades, the speed is usually not lost. About the overlap waves already wrote above, but I guess that's not the case. On some firmwares of routers, you can dig in settings for a web muzzle, sometimes it is enough to switch from one mode to another, to remove the restriction on velocities.

What to say about him, a simple budget model. The easiest way for you would be to take the more technologically advanced the unit from a reputable brand (Huawei, Zyxel, Asus and the like), and Chinese toys no longer communicate, because to understand why it does not work can be long and tedious, pohranice in flashing and configuration, and persuasion ultimately may not be. Lies router the same series just a different model, used it a couple of months for distribution at the wafer Internet with USB modem, then the router suddenly stopped to identify, and if identified, they could just go to sleep like picolinic was off. This is despite the fact that the connector is in perfect condition and operated this facial joints very carefully. That only did not do with it, useless. On the electronics now it is better not to save, a lot of fakes, manufacturers like to save on materials, which allows them to sell substandard hardware with decent specifications at a reduced price.

You will be surprised, but if 3 devices are shipping at 100% network, 4 the device will work less 60% or more subject to a bad router.

Cheaper to take a normal router with a powerful antenna and once that had about 3 to 4 antennas
Repeaters, if we take, take for the large scales (of Cotatge, residences, restaurants ) At the worst street there is an external router, but at home they can not install will go bald. These routers beat for 1 km and even further. You can expand the network in the quarter )
This Constructor take and assemble as you like. PS you Can change the antenna on the router, but then if no effect consider you spent in vain.
It is better to take a normal router and for a lifetime you have enough of it.
Mikrotik can advise. There security well, very good. Many companies just buy it.

Expensive ) But for a lifetime are enough.
NETGEAR port OPTICOM fiber cable.

Speed mad. If the NAS is to take the connector built OPTICOM fibre optic cable is 10GB local area is provided.
Zyxel if there is do not need.
Huawei does not suggest, was a scandal recently that they noticed surveillance. In the United States already do not sell them of.

Have Mikrotik and consider it the best ratio quality/price. The configuration is very complex and IMHO not for the average user this product.

And I'll ask around. I have MGTS, router ZTE F660. Rated speed under the agreement 100M\bit. Lately, rooted many devices, sometimes up to eight running, the speed becomes very indigestible. Although, with a small number of devices produces about 20 m\bit. I bought a booster TP-link, minor changes (through the amplifier speed by 5 m\a bit smaller useful spent 3K rubles). Question: should I first try to get another rate, 250 or 500 m\bit? The increase in speed actually helps when a large number of connected devices? Or from the router to change? On what characteristics you need in the first place to look is in the router?

no. If only these devices do not eat up all the speed.

Even the most crappy router could easily pull 1 device at 100MB/s. Question to the provider means.

If you change, then once on normal. That money was not a pity to give )
ColonelJason wrote:

It all depends on the financial state. From the most expensive take do not make a mistake. Above I gave the link.
PS Routers can operate for 10 years and 20 there is much change there. a/b/g/n/ac changes only.
IMHO but the cord is more practical )

Thank you very much for your detailed answers) thank You very much!
Today in your router updated the firmware fresh, now watch how it will behave, but already there then I will look for the more expensive options))

That's about tried floor plan draw, General quadrature 90, the router where the star is in the center of the apartment can't deliver, because the main PC to be in the room with the router, and plus, the cables are brought in through the window. The house is brick, some interior walls do not know.
Now speedtest speed near the router 37 and 52 receive the return in the center of the apartment goes somewhere 25P and 35о, let me remind you that the speed of the provider 100 megabits.

The concrete is likely. means more powerful antenna is needed. 5GHz sure.

If the router is connected to the PC via a LAN network that has 100MB of ideas and pull safely. If not, then the provider should call and it's definitely not the case for the router.
In the settings of the router must still climb, disable power saving if you have to put GHz on full, you can reset all the settings to the default by the way. The password will change on its network. Suddenly, someone somewhere is rocking your traffic.

Exactly who dangle somewhere from your network, or the Antenna is weak. The provider can't speed to cut but to clarify one )

And how to define, eat whether the device speed? Just the more I have of enabled devices the speed on all below. Looked through the router settings, total TxRate all users I get 277 m\bit.

Well, I rate at 100 m\bit, and I've never seen the rate stated in the tariff, even through the wire 90 MB/s maximum.

Yeah... it's a Pity that roundnose workers during repairs to the wall to computer cord is laid, and the wall that the router - no. Now I am suffering.

Maybe the contract is written up to 100MB/c and not 100MB/s? Then it would make sense.
PS But if 90MB/c keeps stable and does not fall on the cord, the case is sure in the router and its antenna Pagani just can not pass 90 meters on devices.
Wi Fi can still fall for other points Wi Fi which operate on different channels pereboeva your channel Channel . There is only the router to change do nothing and immediately on a good 5GHz with ac/, and is rarely seen ad

Doom. This means that the Wi-Fi network cannot simultaneously hold enough units.
