What would be a better solution? Getting the Nighthawk Routers or a Nighthawk Extender?
Hi All, I have Verizon FiOs with 150/150 for speeds. My upstairs room is hit or miss with the WiFi signal, but I did get a Netgear Powerline adapter to turn my electrical outlet into a network band. I then have a r6300v2 attached to the powerline and use that as a router for upstairs. My Xbox and computers and iPhones etc.. all conect to this router. But I am not getting near the 150/150 speeds... only about 50/50. Verion said they only guarantee speeds that are hardwired, not wifi. I am debating if getting a Nighthawk Router X8 would solve this issue or if I should get a Night Hawk X4 AC 2200 Range Extender? Obvously there is a price difference.. Do you recommend the $400ish router or will I be able to get the faster speeds on my R6300 if the $180ish extender can be an access point to the FiOS Wifi Router? --- Regardless of if I get the router or the extender, is there a way to connect my R6300 to the Wifi sigal instead of the Powerline for better speeds? I tried to do it but got confused and settled with the powerline. Thanks!!
