Quickly= new solid router

[THAIPHUKET]

Need one stop suggestion

What very good router to get.

AREA coverage =50m

Pls try to give 1 best choice plus where to get in CM

Asus DSL-N55U is good. Easy setup and interface. Goodspeed Computers at Panthip or Computer Plaza has it or similar model.

About the fastest you can get, but you need 802.11ac at each end of the link to get the benefit.

Airport Express from Apple store in Kad Suan Kaew or Airport Plaza - easy to setup, 2.4 & 5ghz rock solid - easy resell on FB and is small and easy to fit in suitcase

Airport Express sound good, any indication how strong it is? Strong enough to penetrate say 3 Thai concrete floors.?The netgear is tempting but hardly available here plus exceeds my technical understanding.

[THAIPHUKET]

I must correct my self = 2-3 Thai concrete walls, which should make difference.

Got a very old Airport Express and which now goes through 2 walls or a floor easily. At my old place it was going through 4 walls, brick surfaced with concrete/Thai plaster.

To be clear, it is not a modem too, you need a modem + Airport Express if you connect to a phone line.

Is the Airport Express just a relayer-type thing to make signals stronger?

(Serious question).

No it is a stand alone router with a Ethernet port where you would plug in a service providers modem (True & 3bb foe example) and create a wifi network - but it can also be set up as a stand alone repeater if you have another Airport Express or Extreme....

This is my setup... I have a AirPort Extreme in the first floor plugged into my True Internet router... Then an Airport Express on the second level just plugged into an electric outlet... The software easily created a dual network for me ;-)

no, it is wifii device which connects to an Erthernet cable and provides wifii

it will also connect to printers ....see Apple for details

Thank you both, I didn't know. Clever little box.

I seem to remember that a repeater cuts down the transmission speed substantially??

The standalone repeaters are crap for the most part...

A pair of Airport work differently as they have two frequencies (2.4 & 5.0ghz).... They can broadcast at say 2.4ghz and transfer data between themselves at 5.0ghz - and are software optimized to work like this...

Think of it like a one lane road verses a two way road...

If you are looking for a way to get a bigger range thru walks and such look into the extenders that use the houses electric wiring to communicate between the repeaters... But the best way would really be a ethernet wire from one area to another with separate wifi routers...

I have an Airport Extreme to cover the ground floor and an Airport Express as a repeater upstairs.

I don't see a difference in speed when I'm connected to either one of them.
