Looking for router suggestions for concrete walled office.

Bladst
Go to solution Solved by bob345,

Proffesional probably wasn't the right choice in wording. I am looking for something that will be better in a concrete, almost basement like, building that is better than the Belkin 15n, netgear n300, and asus rt-n53 n600. I have tried using a Tp-link 300mbps repeater in combination with the asus router that I am currently using but cannot keep a signal.

 

Its for a laptop, a desktop, 2 tablets and 4 phones.

 

The other desktops are hardwired.

The asus ac56u may be what you need. I have one and the 2.4ghz range is pretty good. I can get around 100ft away from my house before i get disconected. For $100, i dont know of anything better.

Hey all,

 

So I am looking for some advice on a router for my office. The farthest pc has 2 concrete walls in between them. I have tried a few cheap routers so far and none have proven effective, low speeds and questionable connections. I have not put forth more than 30 dollars for one and I think it is time to move up to a bit stronger of a router. Not a 1500 dollar network one or something insane just better than what I had.

 

I would like ot keep it under 100-150 us or at least around there.

 

What do you guys have or use. Looking for any reccomendations and I appreticate your time.

 

Thanks.

get a AC wireless router, then a wireless AC receiver. both ends need to be powerful for that to really work out

$100 wont get you any kind of professional router. also, will the router be for mobile devices or for work machines? if it is for work machines i would go hardwired.

To be honest i would say a 100 dollars budge is not adequate if you what high class gear. end of story.

The asus ac56u may be what you need. I have one and the 2.4ghz range is pretty good. I can get around 100ft away from my house before i get disconected. For $100, i dont know of anything better.
