Sometimes they are called "repeaters".

IMHO the discussion of router/extender and access point is about coverage. If the iLox modem/router is providing you with enough wi-fi coverage, that is all you need. If you have construction/layout restrictions, you have router/entender and access point as options. https://www.linksys.com/us/r/resource-center/what-is-a-wifi-access-point/

IMHO The plants that are best to plant around here are the ones sold in my local nursery. π I didn't see any of those plants that were in the article at the nursery today.

Is it possible that it is a smaller unit because you miss more than goes in? HAHAHA

Sometimes there is trade off between speed vs signal strenght. Like CG said this just a setup issue but it may be a little trial and error, especially since you mentioned two levels in your house. There is a big difference with signals going through concrete vs wood. First, make sure you have a good speed at your modem. I would do that with an via ethernet connection. Then you can work on the wi-fi.
-
I don't know but you may have to use their modem. But that is not stopping you from adding your own router via ethernet cable.
-
The first chart shows that all of your devices to at least code "n" to have your wi-fi above the code "g" level. The other two charts are for your information if you may buy any wi-fi devices.
-
The following shows the basic speeds. The addition problem is each code has different ratings. Did I say I wanted to keep it simple? HAHAHA If you are buying a 802.11n Wi-Fi router then we would suggest buying one that supports N600 or higher. You would then get the benefit of getting a router with simultaneous Dual Band where you can use the 5GHz band for higher throughput. This is what the Rating table for 802.11ac transfer speeds could look like:

I am just trying to point out, in simpler terms, to the readers that after they have iLox installed and the Wi-Fi is remarkably slower than ethernet, it may be the equipment they have, not the service. 40 mps is fast and there are options to improve it if you want.
-
The router downstairs gives 90 mps to the smart TV and PC via ethernet, 90mps to a tablet, two new cell phones and PC with new USB wi-fi adapter via wi-fi and 40mps to the older cell phone and the pc with the internal wi-fi adapter via wi-fi.
-
I just remember the 40mps is the max. for some older devices. That is why I bought a newer USB wi-fi adapter. With the right equipment, you should get the same speed.
-
From the Windows Settings, I would turn each wi-fi on and off. The modem from Axtel. Even if both wi-fi's operated at 2.4, I would expect them to have the similar speed. The point I was trying to make when testing the speed of an internet provider is not to test with wi-fi, but with ethernet. The speed of the wi-fi is a different topic.
-
CG, I just ran a test on the upstairs wi-fi device, provided by internet provider, using a older Windows 10 PC with with the internal wi-fi and a new 5g USB wi-fi adapter. For this test I was downstairs. The older internal wi-fi had a download speed to 20 mps and the new USB wi-fi adapter had a speed of 3 mps. Just to make sure that the new USB adapter was working correctly, I switched to the wi-fi router downstairs and got a speed over 90 mps. That I can't explain. The customer may want to test with ethernet to see what the speed of the service is.
-
John, What are you using the port forwarding for?
-
CG used to write manuals. HAHAHA
-
Rumors start when you post "sent you a PM". HAHAHAHA
-
I know you only ask CG but here is my two cents worth from experience. IMHO the three main things that effect the differences are distance, wifi placement and physical construction. I too have the situation of the modem/wifi upstairs with other devices on both levels. Because of construction and upstairs wifi placement, the wi-fi downstairs was weak. We fix that by running an ethernet cable from upstairs to a wi-fi router downstairs. In addition, we add a wi-fi extender to increase the range to the back rooms downstairs.

I don't use it that way. My need to turn it on is very low so I turn off after I am done. Also after addition testing, my need to use a vpn is very low. Now I only use a vpn when I want encryption of financial/secure transactions over Wi-Fi. Why? There is a big difference in performance between a vpn and a DDS server to change IP address. Average download speeds using SpeedTest app on Windows 10 PC connecting to US: Base speed - 90mps Express VPN - 20 mps Private Internet Access - 25mps Strong VPN - 30mps Unblock-US - 90mps
