Hi All,
I have a DIR-615 wireless router that just isnt cutting it anymore. The router works fine (as i've already tried replacing it) but the signal issues persist. At this point i believe there is some signal that i can't find that's blocking the wireless signal in the area i use it the most.
So I am looking for an alternative. Any ideas?
One thing I saw was the Powerline Ethernet Adapters. Can anyone explain how these work? I understand that you plug the modem into one outlet and then the other adapter into another outlet has the Ethernet cable that goes into the PC.
What I don't fully understand:
-Can i continue to use a wireless router and does it have to be at the same spot as the modem?
-I live in a house but i doubt the 2 areas where i want to use this are on the same circuit, will it still work? I would have to check the circuit breaker to make sure. All power in the house lead to one circuit box.
-What kind of internet speed should i expect on all ends? My current download speed is 4.5mbps and 690kbps up.
-Any recommendations on which brand/model to buy? I'm in Canada, Toronto area. Please keep that in mind.
Any other recommendations/suggestions as an alternative to wireless? I am NOT running new wires!
Thanks.
