mesh or another router
I want to improve wifi in my bedroom, and currently my router sits about 18 meters away with a door and a few walls in between. I understand 5G does not penetrate wall well, so I have always been using 2.4G.
I was using RT-N66U for a while, but it became unstable in the past few months, I feel my RT-N66U is no longer good.
My current router is Asus RT-N16 with power boosted to 60mw. It is extremely reliable using tomatousb, but do not believe I can boost more wifi power.
I have looked into using mesh , for example tplink deco M5, however I read it using 5G to communicate between the nodes, so I feel it won't help in my case.
I have used powerline adapter, but found them they are not stable, I tried Trendent 406E and 308, from the review I see online, do not see a reliable product.
When I look into a new router, I found most of them have great speed on 5G, so really out of an idea what is the best solution in my case.
