Upgradeing Internet Plan

[Guest]

So where I live you can get fiber internet for a good price. Right now we have 300 mb internet and I have had problems before with geting internet on my back porch. (see post here) I am planning to upgrade to gigabit internet and I am hoping that it will help with this range problem. I am wondering if it would help just be able to get a good signal. Theoretically it would help because over wifi when I tried geting a signal I could pick up the network but I could not get any signal. The farther the range the more the wifi signal degrades and slower it is. So I am thinking by the time it reaches were I want to have wifi it will not have degrated enough and be useable.

Buy an AP

Faster internet isn't going to make your wireless signal travel further. You either need higher dB gain at the router to send the signal further, a second AP closer to the area you need more coverage, or mesh system , or if you don't care about wireless speed too much then maybe a repeater. You'll definitely never get anywhere near gigabit on wireless at long distances.

Or just get a good router or a mesh system. I have a tp ink deco and its great.

Your internet plan has nothing to do with WiFi range and signal strength. 

 

You'd need to look into getting an access point to put closer to the areas that don't have signal.

Faster Internet does not equal better range.
