And technically 2.4GHz is better (for range) than 5GHz but congestion can hamper that. Best off looking at reviews on smallnetbuilder.com as they do decent range tests.

N should be better than G yeah, higher transfer speeds etc... Tbh I doubt you can buy G routers now anyway | |

Similar but different question. | |

WPS can be brute-forced; some routers employ timeouts in an attempt to mitigate the issue some what, which is why Reaver is a bit hit/miss now, but it's still doable and ideally should be disabled on WiFi networks. | |

Not at all worried about my neighbours trying to jump into my network however why is WPS an issue? | |

I think you linked the wrong kit then or I'm missing something. The ones in the link don't have wifi? | |

WIFI extenders reduce your bandwidth and most will only worth with the same brand of WIFI Router. | |

This is by far the BEST solution: | |

You can get homeplugs with a throughput so you can still use the socket | |

Virgin's Superhub aint so super I'm afraid. I did think about the home plugs option but then didn't want the limited amount of sockets we have being taken up. | |

A wi-fi extender should do the trick. Another option is a set of home plugs and plug an access point into that. | |

We have 2 different Netgear Wi-Fi extenders, both are sound. If the signal is currently hit and miss then that should give you a pretty strong, reliable signal. | |

looking at the following product to basically give me a stronger signal strength upstairs. I've only ever dealt with POE AP's and therefore I'm asking if this is a cheaper option that running cabling through the ceiling and are they any good? |
