[WTA] Wireless for 4 storey building shoplot

sptham30 — Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:12:40 +0800

hi all,

here's the situation, i have a shoplot of 4 storey high and currently running on 4mbps streamyx. the current modem (wireless G) could only broadcast up and down 1 floor, even with that also quite slow and limited connectivity plus it disconnects quite often.

Am planning to do an upgrade on the wireless router.
i need a router that will be placed on a 4 story shoplot, on the 2nd floor. a rough sketch of it would be as below. will the router be able to broadcast all the way to the ground floor?

Currently, this modem router i am leaning towards

ASUS 1.75Gbps Wireless-N/AC Dual-Band 2.4GHz+5GHz Router (RT-AC66U)

good enough? or do i just need a router with huge range?

please advice
