I have Netgear Orbi (router + 1 slave) because I had wifi reach problem but where I live in a large 3 storey Victorian redbrick with lots of chimneys (i.e. thick brick inner walls in every room) and wooden floors. Router and slave communicate using one 5MHz channel but positioning of the units with a line of sight not through brick was essential for throughput. Even with the Orbi I need a homeplug to reach a corner of an extension due to foil backed insulation sheets on walls.
Before I got the Orbi I used an Asus RTN66U which did a very good job using Homeplug to allow me to position the router in the optimum place rather than where ISP connection comes into house. If the flat is on one floor with concrete walls then unless you can get line of sight between the units and not going through concrete - homeplug would be a better idea - if only to reposition the main router . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108746 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
