I currently am just using my AT&T provided router/gateway for WiFi signal:
Manufacturer ARRIS
Model Number NVG599
It provides 2.4ghz and 5ghz WiFi but I can't seem to see which 802.11 a/b/g/n standards it supports
I just have it residing in my basement on a shelf in my rack.
Needless to say, the signal on the 2nd floor of my house is pretty damn weak. PCs up there are running older WiFi cards and appear to only be connecting via 2.4ghz
LOTS of lag in games and just generally speaking slow browsing (yes I know WiFi suck for gaming, but this is beyond that with pings routinely spiking in the 600-1000ms range most times)
Would getting 5ghz cards be a better idea and give me better performance? I guess I could get a wireless A/P put it on the 1st floor somewhere central and connect WiFi to that? But trying to avoid that due to expense.
Thanks in advance.
