I have a broadband plan with myrepublic which gives 1gbps, using the myrepublic halo router which is about 7m away from my desktop
Currently, I am using the Dlink DWA-192 AC1900 as my wifi adapter and the speed test from my room would gives 51mbps DOWN and 81mbps UP
I would like to upgrade my connectivity as I started hosting a media server on my computer and when too many people are streaming, the network gets laggy.
I am considering between two options,
1) One of those newer AV2000 powerlines - If I can get close to LAN speed, that would be really great. However most AV2000 do not have Singapore socket head and getting a electric outlet in my room is a little troublesome as my computer area only has 1.
2) Mesh networks - One of those newer triband mesh networks, the setup would be 1 mesh right at my desktop, wired by ethernet port to my PC. Hopefully, the signal is stronger and my family can benefit from the better connectivity too (I can get up to 8mbps DOWN 130mbps UP by using ookla speed test app on my phone when next to router)
Right now the speed of 81mbps UP is enough however I need it to be stable. Which would be a better investment? Powerline or mesh
