Wireless network unstable with AP connected

[MySelfLuls]

Hello Linustechtips forums,

 

I have been trying to fix the problems with my internet connection at home for a while, the wireless is just overall unstable, I have tried so many things without anything making it more stable.

 

I currently have an ASUS RT-N66U as my main router, giving internet and wireless. (Firmware version: 3.0.0.4.378_9459)

Wireless setup config

Professional section (I have not changed anything on this one)

 

Because I am not able to change the location of my main router, I have an AP setup in the other end of the house, with direct connection to the RT-N66U

The AP is also setup with an DHCP server to keep the IP address the same.

 

The AP is an EA-AC87 set on AP mode, the SSID is the same as on the router, although I set this one SSID to be hidden, (Firmware version: 3.0.0.4.374_2814)

There is internet connection in the whole house, it's also fast but sometimes, even though you're still on the wireless connection the webpage does not load.

Professional section (I have not changed anything on this one)

 

Please do tell me if you need more information than this, willing to send everything that should be needed to fix my wireless problems.

 

Best regards,

MySelfLuls

Is it possible to use a Powerline instead of the router? Skip the middleman.

I am sorry,

 

I don't think I understand what you mean.

What would a powerline gain for me?

Its one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-PA411KIT-Powerline-Adapter-Starter/dp/B0084Y9N3O/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1459080723&sr=1-1&keywords=Powerline

 

They completely skip the router and allow you to "Send" a Ethernet connection to another adapter on the same electric line. I use one and they work flawlessly.

When thinking about it, I can actually just wire it up from the ISP's connection directly to the AP, so we have 2 connections that way.

Would that stabilize it though?

Sorry, I don't know enough about networking to help you. You could repost this question?
