yes its yet an another post asking for wifi router suggestion , sorry about that

My problem
3 bedroom flat - router in hall - far bedroom - weak wifi signal

tried

tried using TL MR3420 as repeater along with TP-Link Archer 20 AC 750 ( main router got along with ACT )
but speeds are below 10mbps and often the repeater kinda goes to limited connection so have to restart it every few hours
so planning to buy a new router with a decent range

what can be the budget to buy a decent router on a 75 Mbps line ?

thanks in advance
 
my experience with wireless repeaters was pretty bad. but i also used budget devices. ended up installing ethernet cables and it has been much better now.

it's likely experience would be poor unless you invest in high end solutions from companies like Ubiquiti or mesh routers.
 
installing ethernet cables was my first preference but when was it informed it would involve some chipping in brick walls dropped that plan .
 
yup. it's not possible in all cases. i have a corner house so it was pretty easy as all the ethernet wiring is outside the house.
hopefully someone would be able to recommend something.
 
I have ACT Incredible in Chennai, recently got myself Netgear Nighthawk R7000P & A7000 to replace Netgear WNDR3700v4 & TP-Link TL-WA820RE; I couldn't be happier!

Two bedroom flat but with walls, 2 metal wardrobes, fridge, water storage etc was killing my reception. This Wave 2 AC router is doing wonders, 5Ghz reaches the entire house and the neighbour, 2Ghz reaches one floor up & down (I reside in first floor).
