Stasman, I don’t know how the neighbors are doing there, I have flashed my NetGear 3500L with Tomato’s firmware, it scanned the frequency range, determined which neighbors ’routers are working on and ran away to another channel ...
I manually changed channels, I sit now on 11 since on it the signal is the most stable. In fact, it is possible that the neighbors are not to blame))) I just noticed that the signal deterioration as the neighboring access points grew ... When there were 2-3 of them, everything was fine, now my computer catches 15 pieces, and everything is not so bright. So I suggested that the fault is a single 2.4 GHz range on which they fonya.
Plus there is the ability to adjust the transmitter power ...
About better coverage - just buy another antenna.
There is also such a setting, but there is no sense in changing it without changing antennas, and on the WL-500W the antennas are not removable.
It’s hard for me to say about speed 6MB / s is the maximum that I had, while the router was not even 40% loaded ...
For my, this speed is apparently close to the limit. Because CPU utilization is 90%, and if I download something at such a speed, on other computers even sites are not loaded.
P.S. Asus yours can also be flashed to her most likely ...
It is stitched to the "firmware from enthusiasts" and is constantly updated.
P.P.S. 3 times more oo you have a gigabit internet O_O
No, under the contract it is 200 Mbps optics. If you plug the cord directly into the network card, then the speed from local trackers to 20mb / s happens.
