Today I hooked up and began using a new N Wifi Router with 300 Mbps and what was supposed to be an improvement in coverage to all floors of home and porch area, etc. I replace a G WiFI Router with 125 Mbps that is at least 7 or 8 years old. It turned out to be more of a job than anticipated and the results are such we now have less coverage than with the old unit. The old unit had one 2dBi antenna and the new unit has two 5dBi antennas. It has the same DSL modem and sits in exactly the same place on the top floor of a 3 story home....one story down is ok yet but two stories down is very week or dropping....?
Why in the heck is the new unit doing worse than the old one? Any insight or tips are welcome.
Maybe I'll just hook up the old unit again!
