Internet Optimisation Help

Our current contract with BT has run its course and we are now switching to skys "super fast" fibre broadband. They say that we will get on average 57Mb p/sec (which on a good day was the max our old BT router could provide max) with speeds up to 80Mb. However, we want to make sure we optimize our internet speeds to its potential.

 

Is there a way for all of our house to get those 80Mb speeds? I hear a range extender will do but im sure it cuts the speeds dramatically. Bridging does seem an option but i have no idea how that works, except for it uses 2 routers.

 

If it helps the only place we can put it is either downstairs in the living room or in my old brothers bedroom which is next to mine.

Go wired or make a mesh network with Ubiquiti stuff.

You can use powerline adapters to send the internet signal to another location in the house.

You'll need a pair like this:

Then plug up an AP or another router (disable DHCP, DNS, etc.) and you'll be good to go.
