Cant tell you the amount of money, and time I would have saves I i had those in every room... Living in 100+ year old houses has its disadvantages

100 Mbps.

so you got 100 Mbs when connected to the router via lan?

via ethernet

via ethernet

Ok, so the wifi is the problem then, because the router seems fine if you are getting the advertised speeds via ethernet. if there are power outlets in your garage, then have a look at powerline, as it allows you to send the data through cabling that is already in your house (im unsure about the exact details, but I remember linus doing a video on the topic)

I think powerline would be better in you case, as the router is in the garage, and from what I'm understanding, it would be a pain to move.

Speed wise, wireless isnt too bad, but when you add thick walls, and interference, it will slow down significantly.

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure a switch is just like a hub.

ok so i can get powerline and hook up a switch and hook it up to all my computers and it will be faster than wifi? thanks!
