I am thinking of getting the Netgear Nighthawk RAXE or the ASUS ROG GT-AX1 1000 router to use and take out the WiFi features of the XFi. I live in a two story home and I am having trouble with signal since Comcast added the cable modem/router in the basement. I don’t want it upstairs because my husband doesn’t want cables all over the place. But he is willing to get a router and put it upstairs to strengthen the signal. Currently, when he is playing upstairs, the WiFi only goes as far as 3 bars on his Windows computer. I am on wired, so I don’t have an issue. Please help and let me know which router is better, or if you have suggestions. I am open for suggestions to keep my husband happy (I know, the adage of happy wife, happy life goes to me, but I want to help him out this time. Now it is time for me to help him with network solutions, ha ha).
Have you tried extenders? They are cheaper and do their job. Also, check your house plans. It could be something is making signal suck because of materials.
