As feared, though i am getting the good speed on floor where router is placed, but on the upper floor getting the pathetic speed of 1 Mbps or less.
Technician has advised me to either take WiFi extender or seperate router for the upper floor.
Any advise which is better option?

Which router???

Once again I will advice to put it in the centre of your house and near the ceiling of the lower floor....
 
hey guys,
so I contacted the nearest excitel guy from my house in west Delhi
He is willing to put a switch in front of my house but is asking me to pay for 3 months (rs. 2400) if I don't want to pay the Rs. 500 installation charges. I am, although, a bit skeptical about it as I don't know how will the service be as neighboring locality as no LCO has contract with excitel in my area. If the service is not up to the mark I will be stuck with them for 3 months. Currently, I have a 10 Mbps connection for Rs. 900 for a local ISP with almost zero downtime as he has airtel leased line.
So should I go for it considering the risk?
 
sounds good.....
but being a savage... I am gonna go for the 3-month plan:biggrin::biggrin:
At the worst end, I will get at least 50-60% uptime....
so I will keep faith in excitel.....
hopefully won't be disappointed
only if you can explain stuff in a bit more detail will I change my mind...
any advice is welcome

best would be to take an ethernet cable and install a regular wireless router on each floor. extenders are useful but would degrade speeds.

Any advice for the secondary router which i can use along with the following router which i currently have

300Mbps Wireless N Router - TP-Link

I am told that this router cannot be used as AP. So need advice on some good but cheaper router with access point support..
 
i am pretty sure that any router with a wan port can be used as an access point. or maybe not. god knows. shitty routers are shitty. so you are sure that you can get an ethernet cable from your primary router to the location where you want to install the second router as ap?
 
Access points don't do routing, if you have a pre-existing router then you can go for an AP but if you don't have one then it's better to go for a wireless router since it can do routing for you.
