Re: Home wifi help

Also, here are the AC Ethernet adapters I have.

I have a total of 4, only currently using 2 so I have some spares I could use. That link you sent said this is an option. The thing I don't like about these is how they state they are 200Mbps capable. I forgot the exact number, but when I did a test with them the realistic speed I got was more like 10-15Mbps I think. Which is faster than my internet speed so that's not a huge deal. But, if I want to say pull something off my own NAS in my house, then i'm taking a serious speed hit by limiting myself to 10-15Mbps when my home wifi network should be able to go much faster than that. I don't recall off the top of my head what protocol I have at home (b, g, n, etc). That article said this option is faster then the wifi to wifi extender, which I wonder about because if I'm on N and have say a 300Mbps wifi setup, a wifi only extender is going to knock it down farther than my outlet converters which already knock it down to like 10-15?
