Penetrate 30 cm wall .

[ofekl]

Well , I have a 3 floor house . the router is in the second floor .
There is a pc in a room surround by 30 cm [11 inch~] in the first floor.
Ethernet cable isn't an option , I dont feel like tackle the cable every time I go down stairs + it's ugly .
Wifi extenders are really annoying to use , every little change that I do with the router I need to re-configure the wifi extender and sometimes it doesnt even work , long process. ..
Any other solutions ?

It depends what router you have, but possibly buying a better router would be my suggestion. From my experience range extenders all basically suck.

 

Another viable option is use a powerline adapter and a secondary router in your room; although my recommendation will (almost) always be to start off with the single best router you can and hope that solves the problem.

You can penetrate the wall with you Dic...

 

umm.. I mean drill

What's the wall made of anyway?

Why don't you want to drill it and run Ethernet trough it? It can be done very cleanly and the cable can always be hidden behind floor panels

Powerline is what I recommend,

I mean the title is just demanding terrible puns.

try powerline

it may of may not work well, depending on your wiring

only way to find out is to try it

the worst , concrete wall ..
I'm sorry i dont really know what a powerline is ..
You probably wont  find a lot of details on this router , because I think it's a modfied version that I only see in my country :
d-link 6850U

And unfortunately my D isn't long enough to penetrate a 30 cm wall..

If you can find 2 outlets on the same side of the circuit breaker, you can use power line adapters to get across the thicker walls and floors.

Speeds will be in the 300-400mbit/s range which is good for general internet usage, but if you have a NAS that you need to get full gigabit transfers on, then you will have to find a way to run an Ethernet cable (e.g., running it outside of the house and into the upstairs).

 

A concrete wall will attenuate WiFi significantly, and even a top of the line router will not get you acceptable performance. The FCC limits transmit powers to 1 watt, and top end routers still have to work within that limit.

powerline is where you use your home's wiring to transmit the signal -- you plug an ethernet wire into an adapter (next to your router) that plugs into a wall outlet, and then in another room in your house (that's connected to the same panel) you plug in another powerline adapter and plug an ethernet wire from it into a router/a computer. 

 

The problem with powerline is that it's VERY dependent on the wiring in your home, and requires the two adapters to be connected to the same panel (many homes in the US have two discrete 120v lines running through the house, so both adapters would need to be on the same 120v line).

Oh god.. I'm not from the us ..
Also I dont know a thing about my house wiring . guess ill go researching ..

My internet is only 60 mbit/s .. 
Thanks guys (:

If needed, try an AV1200 power line adapter, and then hook a secondary router or access point to the power line adapter. you can return it if it doesn't work for you (depending on the store's return policy).

1. Run the Ethernet through the walls, not on the floor, this is going to be the best (and cheapest in the long run) solution.

2. Power-line adapters might work (depends on how many circuits you have in your house), keep in mind it'll be slower.

To actually answer your question you would need a powerful transmitter and probably a good antenna

 

You could try this, but I won't guarantee anything: https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/nanostationm/ 

 

If you are going for it you would want the NSM2 or NSM5 edition.

Out of those 2, I would go with the NSM2 as 2.4Ghz penetrates walls easier.

There is also MOCA. Multimedia over Coax. It uses the Coax in your walls. It tends to work better than Power line from what I read. So if you have coax in both locations you can install these adapters. It will generally work with Cable providers. Its at least something to look in to.

The issue with WiFi bridge devices is that they still have to abide by the regulatory restrictions. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/wcs/3-2/configuration/guide/wcscfg32/wcscod.html

 

Going through extremely dense materials will still cause many issues, in this case, he is pretty much stick with powerline networking, or MoCA as others have recommended.

1W EIRP Should be efficient lol... 

Also in most countries no1 cares as long as you are not some huge company...

Yes, you should be just fine to put one on one side and the other on the other side. This should work perfectly.
