[QUOTE="greatwhite, post: 1036394, member: 22324"] TP-Link N600? I assume the N600 refers to 300mbps each 2.4GHz and 5GHz (802.11n only) from a quick google of TP-Link models as opposed to an actual model number? Perhaps you give the actual model number? I would look a simple/cheap extender, but it will only offer 2.4GHz band - check the reviews on site like takealot, but tread carefully with no name brand units. Otherwise, you are probably better off getting a new router that gets you back to the range you had before (will likely be cheaper). Only issue might be the ADSL since the bulk of new 802.11ac routers don't have ADSL, but this can be worked around. At the risk of sounding presumptuous, given you are using ADSL, I would assume 2.4GHz 300mbps would be enough for your needs? If you are not sure, perhaps you could give an idea of your needs/expectations? Again, if you have higher expectation, the new router is probably the better option. Just a thought - what router (model number) did you have before and did it meet your needs all the time? Another thought - If you haven't already you could try mybroadband forum to explore other options - a lot of the techies 'live' there [/QUOTE]
