Hallo everyone
This is my first post here. I think it's a good forum for discussing wireless equipment.
My problem is that I have a very poor wireless performance in my flat.I have a Netgear WNDR 3700 Router and a Cisco E2000 Router, my internet connection is about 100/10mbits and my flat is about 160 m².
I have connected the E2000 to a free lan port of the WNDR3700, so I'am using it as additional router. I have 3 networks, the WNDR3700 has a 2,4 ghz and a 5 ghz network and the E2000 has a 2,4 ghz network.
WNDR3700
My performance is very poor. For example in a room 10 meter away from the router I get max 60mbit so 6MB/s under best condition. When I connect another device the speed drops rapidly to 1mbit, also when just watching a youtube in sd or surfing with the other computer (not very data intensive).
So whats the problem?
I have many other wireless devices in the neighborhood but i configured exactly the channel nobody uses.
I have checked the database for the wndr3700 and found out it can handle only up to 430 simultaneous connections, which seems very poor, because I have many devices. (1 TV, 1 Playstation 3, 1 XBOX 360, 7 Laptops, 2 Desktop PC and about 6 Smartphones)
Everytime when there are more than 2 or 3 devices connected and using the internet, everything internet based is going very slow. So I tried with another router.
But also the E2000 does not work better, the E2000 is even slower than the wndr3700. The E2000 can handle up to 30mbit under best condition.
Does somebody has an advice, what I can do? Do I have to buy another router or a better one?
Help is much appreciated.
thx in advance
Walter
